Rude Dog pretty much sums it up in the liner notes to his album, BAPTISM IN BLUE. "This CD was recorded as a tribute to the many musicians that have influenced my playing over the years. These are the men that brought me down to the water and baptized me in the blues."

Most people will be familiar with the artists and the songs that Rude has chosen to cover. From people like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Elmore James and Slim Harpo, to more modern interpreters like the Rolling Stones, J. J. Cale and Paul Butterfield, its all tightly played and well executed with an emphasis on personal interpretation.

Armed with a guitar, bottleneck slide and a Dobro, Rude Dog and friends take you through a short history of the blues with tunes that run the gamut from the old like Howlin Wolf's, Who's Been Talkin' to the not so old, Moon Martin's Cadillac Walk. Rude Dog gets lots of help from the local blues community, with an appearance from the Nighthawks front man, Mark Wenner, who blows his usual mean harp on the Junior Wells tune, Kansas City Blues. Other folks helping out include Linwood Taylor and Automatic Slim along with 16 other sidemen who provide rock steady backing and help keep the sound varied throughout.

Various - 2 albums: Baltimore On Tap: Baltimore's Best Blues Bands / Live At The Cat's Eye

As you may or may not know, we recently moved lock, stock and family barrel from Paris to Baltimore. Are we crazy? Possibly. But there is one thing that Baltimore has hands down over Paris - THE BLUES. Blues musicians in Paris are perfunctory. They know the correct notes to play... but they play them with about as much passion as an arranged marriage.

Here in Baltimore the blues are gritty... the musicians make lots of mistakes... they get drunk, chase women... some are missing teeth... but when they're tearing into a riff, it makes you feel good.

We recently had the good fortune to meet Rudy Strukoff of Rude Dog's Rhythm Revue. Rudy, a Chicago native, has been in town for several years and taken it upon himself to collect samples from some of Baltimore best blues musicians. "While it can be said that not all of these players are completely sane," says Rude Dog, "the musicians on this compilation took the long hard road and did something noteworthy, they combined their talents and made a blues record that is guaranteed to keep you groovin' from beginning to end." ~Addison Wiggin, The Daily Reckoning
