True Blues
Safe House—A Collection of the Blues
Credit Where Credit is Due
Who's singing backup on "Some Day"? Who's playing harp on "She's Nineteen Years Old"? These are the questions blues fans ask—and the credits to the Safe House album don't offer any answers. But we do.
Print out these pages and trim them down to size. (Or if you've got the cassette, fold the hell out of it and jam it in there. Or just slide them into your copy of the Safe House novel.) A lot of fine musicians sweat blood to make these songs blue—now you know who they all are.
We also thought you'd want to know where the cuts came from—so you could get more of the same if you liked it—and where you could get more information about these fine artists. It's all here.
