This is a singer-songwriter album - a singer-songwriter who loves the blues. It is no coincidence that the release date (7/1/2014) coincides with the 99th anniversary of Willie Dixon's birthday. Nigel Egg believes that the Blues could be as popular as Country music if we would just make great music that connects with how people live in the 21st century. He says, “Let’s move beyond ‘Keep The Blues Alive’. It’s time for the Blues to prosper and multiply! Willie Dixon made it happen fifty years ago by writing new kinds of blues songs. His music became the new blues tradition because it fit the times. The times haven’t stopped changing.

"Somewhere out there is a teenager who has the talent and courage to blaze a new path in the blues that resonates with other young people. If we really want to keep the blues alive, I hope we give her a big welcome and lots of encouragement. Blues has become the province of the Baby-Boomers and let's face it, we're all going to die soon. We need to let go of the power to define what is, and what is not Blues and give that power to the kids." ---cdbaby.com
