Without Joanna Connor's arrival on the Chicago blues scene in 1984, its circuit would have been missing the woman who, through her unquestionable guitar prowess, has established herself over the course of her career as a pioneering force in the most powerful, hard-hitting, and influential brand of blues led by a guitarist. Born in New York in 1962, Connor formed her first band in 1987 and released her first four albums on Blind Pig Records. In 2002, Mark Carpentieri welcomed her to his own label, MC Records, where she has alternated her releases ever since, becoming one of the label's most loyal and successful artists. Albums such as "Six String Stories" (2016) and "Rise" (2019) are irresistibly compelling and stand as remarkable examples of epic, unforgettable guitar-driven blues. On this latest live album, Connor gives herself over with raw intensity to her deepest musical instincts. New Orleans funk legends The Meters open the set with "Cissy Strut," followed by an outstanding selection of essential classics: Elmore James' "The Sky Is Crying" and "Shake Your Moneymaker," Litte Walter's "You're So Fine"," Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You," Steve Winwood's pop classic "Can't Find My Way Home," and "When the Levee Breaks," immortalized by Led Zeppelin from the original by Memphis Minnie. "Live on 11/11" is an essential contemporary blues-rock album, a thrilling and deeply satisfying explosion of talent from a guitarist and singer performing in front of an audience at the peak of her artistic powers. One of the finest blues artists of her generation delivering one of the defining performances of her career.
