James Blood Ulmer - Birthright

Produced by Vernon Reid.
"The number of bonafide original contributions to the musical language of the blues in the last 30 years are as scarce as hair on a Mississippi bullfrog. Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long and Otis Taylor's Respect the Dead come immediately to mind. One must now add James Blood Ulmer's Birthright to this short list and it may be the most groundbreaking of all." - Play Blues Guitar.com

"...these dozen tracks sound like they were played by the holy offspring of Chuck Berry and Robert Johnson...by far the most personal blues album the guitarist has ever recorded." - OffBeat Magazine
