Fish Tree Water Blues brings together a diverse group of musicians with a shared interest in the most important thing on earth: the earth itself. This album benefits the Earthjustice Legal Defense fund and spreads the word about the importance of a clean planet. Focusing mainly on blues and folk, the impressive artist roster includes classic performers like
Etta James,
Ruth Brown,
Mavis Staples, John Hammond and
John Lee Hooker. Contemporary artists like
Ani DiFranco and
Keb' Mo' also contribute to this worthy cause, along with
Branford Marsalis and
Roomful of Blues. The unique combination of blues and ecology makes Fish Tree Water Blues a must for blues fans and nature lovers alike.
