Peter Tork & Shoe Suede Blues August 28, 2008

Ex-Monkee Peter Tork and his band Shoe Suede Blues are basically a blues-based rock/pop/R&B band. But they do play some get-down, low-down, straight-ahead blues and some wonderful classics from the Chicago blues era, along with some original songs along the lines of classic Chicago blues. With intermingling musical styles as the band's manifesto, the idea of mixing Monkees hits with blues standards in the same performance starts to make some logical sense.
