Blues Caravan 2024 - Blues Caravan 2024 feat. Alastair Greene, Eric Johanson, Katarina Pejak (Live)

It is now 19 years ago since label founder Thomas Ruf first sent three musicians under contract to his record company on a joint tour as Blues Caravan: Sue Foley, Candye Kane and Ana Popovic. For the 2024 edition of this package tour, this job fell to Katarina Pejak, Eric Johanson and label newcomer Alastair Greene, who, as in previous years, were also supported by a two-piece rhythm section.

The performances followed the tried and tested pattern, i.e. after a joint opening, each of the three played their own set with songs from their respective repertoire, before they all gathered on stage again for the finale to round off the gig with another joint performance of songs such as Dr. John's voodoo anthem I Walk On Guilded Splinters or the Elmore James cover One Way Out, which is an integral part of the Allman Brothers' live repertoire.

This was also the case in April 2024 at the Blues Garage in Isernhagen near Hanover, where the trio's performance was recorded for this CD/DVD set, with 16 tracks on the CD and 27 songs on the DVD thanks to the higher storage capacity.
