* Live Blues In Britain is almost a "best of," with live versions of tracks from McCoy"s studio releases. The British band backing him is one of the best arrays of seasoned local players working the UK blues scene. * Tommy McCoy combines the best of blues and blues-rock, performed with traditional integrity and contemporary originality. He has recorded four studio albums featuring such luminaries as Chris Layton & Tommy Shannon (Stevie Ray Vaughan"s rhythm section), Hammond B3 organ player extraordinaire Lucky Peterson, and Levon Helm & Garth Hudson (Bob Dylan, The Band). "McCoy"s guitar work is playful and feisty. His singing, too, can be gentle or gruff, providing each woe-filled tune with grit ... bursting with dirty, dirgey blues." -- St. Petersburg Times
