Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society
4 The Blues create a nice round sound with plenty of taste and feel in the production of these 12 tracks which are a mixture of covers and originals. The band has keyboards and piano as well as guitar and with sax and harmonica being added as well as percussion this means the tracks have plenty to work with. The style is of the mid-range blues of America. The band plays well together and has produced an easy listening CD.

BALLARAT band, 4 The Blues' debut album, I Am a Tree, is an edgy mixture of original, and often satirical, composition and some established audience favourites. Stylishly and professionally played, vocalist Kim Sumner, has a way with words.
The CD, recorded at Ballarat's Redwood Recording Studios, has a professional edge that sets it apart.
