Description

“Listening to Blue West is like taking a long summer swim in a Montana river. Simple yet gracefully adorned, that’s the heart of the blues. Raucous yet bittersweet, evoking atmosphere, moving the listener as no other art form can.” – Mariss McTucker, MT State of the Arts Newspaper A road doesn’t always just take us around the block. Occasionally, I’ll abandon tradition and use what Zawinul calls “crystal structure”…organic form. You can hear it on “Yellowstone Paddlewheel” where, when the slow funky gospel feel comes back, it’s like traveling on a river… you’re on the same boat, but there’s something new around every bend. – Philip Aaberg, June 2005
