These are the musicians who continue to give a voice to the blues, a seemingly fading genre of music. My aim was to capture each musician's pride in his music, using backdrops that have a personal connection to the musician, whether it be a club or in a music studio.

He also played guitar for the Antone's House Band, backing up the greatest blues musicians on the planet. --- Photos by A.L. Carter: www.alcarterphoto.com [http://www.alcarterphoto.com]
