2010 Blues Music Award nominee Al Basile's 8th solo CD finds him backed up by the Duke Robillard band with a guest appearance by the Blind Boys of Alabama. Al's last three CDs placed at #14 or higher on the Living Blues airplay chart; this disc has 13 more of Al's songs which fuse his acclaimed lyrics and diverse roots musical styles with Duke Robillard's production, Al's increasingly ambitious vocals, and the cornet soloing which was recognized by the Blues Music Foundation in 2010 in the best instrumentalist - horn category. From 60's soul ballads to New Orleans R&B to gospel to blues, the Goods delivers.
