With his stellar reputation as a contemporary jazz guitarist firmly established, Jeff Golub's "Blues For You" brings everything full circle. Produced by John Porter (Los Lonely Boys, Ryan Adams, buddy Guy), the album brilliantly maintains Jeff's jazz identity, while traveling to territory that any fan of blues-rock will find a real pleasure to visit. Making the trip with Jeff are no less than four classic rock vocalists: Billy Squier, Marc Cohn, John Waite and Peter Wolf.

Move it , move it!
Do you need to move it, move it?! Then get this! I love the song Nikki's walk! The other songs grew on me. It get's you up out of the chair and dancing (a.k.a move it, move it!)
Great players CD
If you like to listen to some great blues guitar being played this CD is for you. I own 4 other CD's by Jeff Golub and this one is becoming my favorite. If your a guitar player or somebody that appreciates great blues playing this CD is full of soulful lines and great phrasing. Golub gets enormous tone on every track. This is definitely one to get.
Two Thumbs Up!
Incredible!! Jeff Golub is without a doubt, one of the greatest guitarist I've had the pleasure of listening to! Being a fan of screaming guitars and smooth jazz, this latest CD is over the top! The 4th cut with Billy Squier doing "Everybody Wants You" is some of the greatest slide guitar you will ever hear......check it out!
Latest and Greatest
If you are a Jeff Golub fan, you must have this C.D. It is a fantastic blend of rock, blues, and of course, jazz. I really couldn't find a "weak" track on it, and can easily listen to it over and over again. (I use the "random" button to change the order.) The guest vocals were a hoot. "American Idol" stresses to artists they should make each tune their own. Try listening to Everybody Wants You here. Same great vocal, but wow, what a makeover. Golub is for you no matter what he plays, but if you like the blues, Blues for You is especially for you.
