"Blues From Another Delta" is a solid debut recording by Sacramento-based bluesman Ray "Catfish" Copeland and his band, The Crawdaddies. The name of the CD, "Blues From Another Delta", refers to the Sacramento River Delta, a meandering maze of waterways that is so similar to the Mississippi Delta (the birthplace of the blues) that it is often used by Hollywood as a stand in for the Big Muddy.

Standout cuts include "Jumpin' at the Jazz Jubilee", a paean to the local Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, where Catfish holds court on an annual basis at the blues tent; "I Wanna Bop", a chugging rockabilly blues, and "Gold Cadillac", a witty "wish-I-had-a" type number. Although the band are categorized as a blues unit, healthy and welcome doses of African rhythms and blistering American rock n roll saturate this CD. /Amazon
