Product Description
CD Description
The name says it all. "Girls with Guitars" – the 2011 Ruf Records Blues Caravan Tour – presents three of the scene's hottest young female guitar slingers on a single stage. Over the past six years, the Blues Caravan has toured successfully in the UK, USA and throughout continental Europe. This unique triple bill revue has helped introduce bright new stars such as Ana Popovic and Joanne Shaw Taylor to an international audience. Following in their footsteps on the 2011 tour is a trio of dynamic, up-and-coming blues talents: Dani Wilde, Cassie Taylor and Samantha Fish. Hailing from Brighton, England, Dani Wilde sings the blues with the old-school fervor of Aretha Franklin, but also takes a cue from contemporaries like Duffy and Joss Stone. The singer/songwriter/guitarist has just released her second album, Shine, a collaboration with renowned producer Mike Vernon (Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac). She has shared stages with luminaries like Robben Ford, Candye Kane and Koko Taylor. Says Paul Jones of BBC Radio 2: "Dani Wilde's voice is astounding, with a unique raw passion and energy. She sings with more conviction and passion than old legends from the Mississippi Delta." At the tender age of 21, Samantha Fish is already a hot property on the live music scene in and around her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. She discovered the blues almost by accident as a teenager, but it has since become her singular mission in life. Her high-heeled, rock-edged performances have won her a loyal local following and carried her to venues like Rosa's Lounge in Chicago, where she opened eyes during the 2010 Chicago Blues Festival. 2011 seems destined to be her breakout year. Proud to call herself the "Daughter of a Bluesman," multi-instrumentalist Cassie Taylor has appeared on eight critically-acclaimed albums by her father, Otis Taylor, and accompanied him on tours all over the world. She was also a featured vocalist on Gary Moore's 2008 release Bad For You Baby. Still just in her early 20s, Cassie has been hailed for her commanding stage presence and "heavenly" voice (Boston Globe). Her music ranges from heart-wrenching ballads to hard-driving blues. Like her father, Taylor doesn't shy from topical subject matter, nor shrink from breaching musical boundaries. This trio of young, passionate performers is backed by a top-flight band of road-tested professionals for more than two hours of live blues excellence. As a foretaste for their upcomining shows around the world, the three guitarists recorded a common album in November 2010 in Berlin at the Studio Erde, which will be released to the blast-off to their tour. None other than Mike Zito produced the album. Multiple Blues Award Winner in Memphis 2010. On the album are ten own songs, like the earthshaking Get Back ("a real Killer" – Daniel Böhm, ROCKS Magazine 01/2011) or the laid-back Wait A Minute, and two covers of two really great songs. Bitch from the Rolling Stones ( therefore, the girls produced also a video – see www.bluescaravan.com ) Bitch from the Rolling Stones and Jetliner well-known by the Steve Miller Band.

Niedlicher Gesang und teils heftig rockende Gitarren bilden einen spannenden Gegensatz, der mir schlicht zu kitschig klingt und vielleicht Jungs aus der Peergroup ansprechen könnte

I don't like every track on the album (hence the four stars) but there is some really nice stuff here. It's a good way get to to listen to the three artists.
I like the way it sounds so "fresh". I have since then bought one of the Danni Wilde cds, and will no doubt buy something by Samantha Fish and Cassie Taylor too. It would be great if RUF records would promote a blues tour of there three ladies, with their bands plus Joanne Shaw Taylor. It's encouraging to see that blues is still alive and well.

I recently saw girls with guitars at my local pub it had been advertised for weeks with many people vowing that they would come yet come the actual night only 30 people showed...all i can say is everyone who said they would come but didn't missed out big style!
What a night 3 highly talented girls all bringing their own uniqueness to the band, cassie taylor had an amaziong presence and no care attitude which left me in awe and she came into the audience and sang such a beautiful song it left me with goosebumps!
Samantha fish and dani wilde both sing with such passion that you can't help but be drawn into the actual music!
I must admit i wasn't particulary fussed about going but when it had finished i wanted more so i purchased this album and now have it in my car as a permanant fixture! I hope they carry on the amazing job they are doing!

Thomas Ruf has this unbelievable talent for keeping the blues alive,particularly with young female guitarists. I stumbled across this while searching for Dani Wilde's latest CD.After just a few sample tracks I was hooked.Unlike most CDs , this one grabs you by the short-and-curlies from the very first listen, and won't let go.If Suzi Quatro decided to make a blues album, this is probably what it would sound like, but there is also some nice slow blues on there too- Reason To Stay and Come On Home.There is not one weak track on it.This brings a new meaning to the phrase power-trio,but somehow three massive blues talents seem to blend perfectly.Have a listen to the sample tracks- I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Incidentally I had never heard of Samantha Fish, but on the strength of this album I checked out her debut album , Runaway - another one well worth listening to.
