Product Description

From Amazon.com

Environmentalism isn't exactly a common subject in the blues, where material tends to be more personal than political. Nor does every song on Fish-Tree-Water Blues deal with the subject at hand; one might pause to wonder what Ruth Brown's "Ice Water in Your Veins," cool as it is, is doing here. And, too, much of the material is available elsewhere, including the Joe Louis Walker and Branford Marsalis duet "The Road You Choose," or Tracy Nelson's "Mother Earth." Still, there's enough new material to make things interesting, such as Mavis Staples's hearty "I'll Fly Away," Alvin Youngblood Hart's instrumental "Rollin' River," a cool live "The Forecast (Calls for Rain)" from Robert Cray, and the bittersweet, if overly earnest, "Victims of Comfort" from Keb' Mo'. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST COMPILATIONS RELEASED!, July 22 2002
By 
This review is from: Fish Tree Water Blues (Audio CD)
Earthjustice, which put together the Fish Tree Water Blues CD, is a nonprofit group whose goal is to provide free legal assistance to organizations fighting for environmental causes. The proceeds from this CD will go to Earthjustice to help fund their projects. If you like protecting clean water, preserving rain forests, protecting endangered species or just like good blues music, this might be a disc that interests you. The disc features 14 songs from a diverse field of musicians. For the most part, and with only a couple of notable exceptions, the compilation sticks to the discs earthy theme. Five of the songs have never been released or qualify for that first new recording in many years category. For example, J.J. Cale's "Stone River", Alvin Youngblood Hart's banjo heavy "Rollin' River", Robert Cray's live "The Forecast (Calls For Pain)", Mavis Staple's "I'll Fly Away", and the Charlie Musselwhite with Bob Weir's Ratdog performing "Take Me To The River", all great stuff. This is a really good compilation from start to finish and definetly a worthwhile acquisition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, Jun 25 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fish Tree Water Blues (Audio CD)
In a market glutted with pointless compilations, this CD stands out as a must-have. Original tunes from some fabulous blues artists designed to remind us of how vital, and threatened, our natural resources are. The numbers by J.J. Cale and Robert Cray alone are worth the price of admission, a portion of which goes to one of the country's most impressive environmental organizations, Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund. Trust me on this one.
