FANS ALERT!! THIS IS PURE RHYTHM & BLUES! KANSAS CITY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION! 
MIKE BOURNE – GUITARIST, SINGER, AND SONGWRITER – BEGAN PLAYING THE BLUES AND JUMP BLUES BACK IN 1988, INSPIRED BY THE R&B SOUND THAT ALSO DOMINATED THE SCENE IN THE JAZZ CITY BY DEFAULT DURING THE 1950S. THE ROCK ’N’ ROLL HINTED AT BY BIG JOE TURNER, THE DISTINGUISHED JAZZ OF COUNT BASIE, AND THE SWING OF GLENN MILLER GAVE KANSAS CITY A UNIVERSAL REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CRADLES OF AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC. BOURNE BRINGS TOGETHER ALL OF THESE SOUNDS AS THE ARCHITECT OF A STRUCTURE THAT CELEBRATES THE MOST AUTHENTIC MUSIC THAT EVOLVED INTO RHYTHM & BLUES. THE MIKE BOURNE BAND, ALSO KNOWN AS MIKE BOURNE AND THE KANSAS CITY BOOGIE, IS A DELIRIOUS FUSION OF MUSICIANS OVERFLOWING WITH RHYTHM AND UNITY. THEY EMBODY THE LIVING, MODERN CONSCIENCE OF THE MUSIC THAT INSPIRES THEM, NO LOOKING BACK, JUST PURE, HONEST SOUND WITH NO GIMMICKS. IN THIS ALBUM, BOURNE SHOWS ASTONISHING MASTERY WITH THE GUITAR AND IS JOINED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF EIGHTEEN ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS, WHOSE REFINED PERFORMANCE SUPPORTS SONGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU ENJOY AND DANCE NONSTOP FROM START TO FINISH.
