Deluxe CD/DVD edition. Atmosphere. It's the magic ingredient that turns a good live album into a great one - and it comes spilling from the speakers on Blues Caravan 2016. This release puts you right there, in the heart of the crowd, on the hottest tour of the year, feeling the anticipation rise as the clock ticks down and the compère steps up: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Blue Sisters...!" Twelve years after Thomas Ruf first had his brainwave, the Blues Caravan tour remains a grand tradition for the legendary Ruf Records label, showcasing three artists on the brink of the big-time. In 2016, crowds across the States and Europe were wowed by the Blue Sisters: an international bill taking in Finland's rising star Ina Forsman, American R&B royalty Tasha Taylor and Canada's celebrated singer-songwriter Layla Zoe. Now, with the release of Blues Caravan 2016, recorded February 22nd at the Hirsch club in Nürnberg, Germany, all the thrills of that tour come flooding back. Ruf Records is renowned as a magnet for next-big-things, and as Tom Ruf says, "there's always enough fresh talent to keep the show on the road".
