Wyland Blues Planet Band - Blues Planet 2 [CD]

Wyland's Blues Planet Band, featuring Taj Mahal and 38 legendary Blues artists, bring you an incredible blues masterpiece. All editions of the three-volume CD set includes words and music by Wyland and musical performances from more than thirty of today's pre-eminent artists, such as: Blues Great Taj Mahal Blues Master Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers The Dirty Dozen Brass Band's Roger Lewis New Orleans Clarinetist Dr. Michael White Hawaii's Willie K Steve Turre of NBC's Saturday Night Live Delfeayo Marsalis Nick-I Hernandez Wyland once told me, 'We need a sea of change. And music is a big part of it.' By placing music side by side with his concerns for the world's ocean and the earth's body's of water Wyland stresses the message he has dedicated his life communicating and educating to countless people worldwide, particularly the younger generation. The marine teachings and ocean-related themes have resulted in moving and revealing lyrics- or poems as he prefers to call the resulting songs. The newly formed (and soon to be touring a city near you!) Wyland Blues Planet Band features a unique array of musicians performing a genre-busting mix of blues-related music incorporating rock, jazz, reggae, and New Orleans.
