To call Chicago the 'Home Of The Blues' is something of a misnomer, for the music that brought the city its reputation was made by generations of musicians who migrated from the southern states of Arkansas, Tennessee and especially Mississippi. Each brought his own particular experience and expertise, and Chicago's clubs and bars became the melting pot in which all these different elements were fused.

The blues is more popular today than it's ever been. The bedrock of its appeal remains as strong as ever and Chicago remains its strongest bastion. Sweet 'N' Tough encompasses this intriguing music in all its facets. /Excerpts from the liner notes by Neil Slaven
