Al Basile - Blue Ink (2004)

Former Roomful Of Blues member and lyricist Al Basile assembles a winning team to back him on his fourth solo album, BLUE INK, a laid-back collection of blues and R&B, including Roomful Of Blues's founder, Duke Robillard, and legendary harmonica player Jerry Portnoy. The eclectic set covers New Orleans R&B on "Lonesome Sun," Chicago blues on "I Got to Love and Be Loved," and Southern blues on "School in Hell," with Basile's witty and subtle lyrics providing a fresh take on each genre.
