The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise has in the last six years become truly legendary. With as many as 20 of the top blues artists and bands on every cruise its become known as a blues lovers delite that is always sold out. During the west coast cruise October 2007 Delta Groove Records captured the party feel of this high seas adventure with an all star line up that rocked the boat. Keeping the spirit of the voyage reeling on dry land during a week of west coast club dates Tommy Castro leads some of the best musicians from the cruise in a command performance. Featuring Tommy Castro on vocals, guitar and producer, Ronnie Baker Brooks vocals & guitar, Deanna Bogart vocals, keyboards & sax, Magic Dick vocals & harmonica, Keith Crossan sax, Tom Poole trumpet, Scott Sutherland bass and Chris Sandoval drums. The show is filled with special guests and surprises as everyone takes their turn up front.

It gets off to a thundering start with Ronnie Baker Brooks leading the horns, pounding piano and rhythm section through his “Can't You See” (What Your Doing To Me). This hard charging start sets the stage for a show that barely gives you time to catch your breath. Tommy Castro leaps to the front with the jump swing of “I Feel That Old Feeling Coming On” shouting the blues like a modern day Wynonie Harris. Deanna Bogart adds her sax to the gale force horn section as they battle for leads with Castro's guitar. Magic Dick steps up with a standard from his J. Geils Band days “Wammer Jammer”, the liner note tell how his bullet mic broke so he had to play into a vocal mic showing it ain't no trick it's all Dick. Ms. Bogart takes the mic with “Still The Girl In The Band” as her piano takes a jazzier side. Ronnie Baker Brooks slows it down with a sweet soul ballad “See You Hurt No More” bringing to mind Otis and the days of Stax while Castro's “If I Had A Nickel” stays in the soul groove. Billy Preston's “Will It Go Round In Circles” becomes a tour da force for everyone in the band with the vocal duets of Deanna and Ronnie and the smoking solos. Ronnie Baker Brooks brings it down home for a change with Muddy's “She's Nineteen Years Old” and Magic Dick pulls out Little Walters “Tell Me Mama”. Jumping back into the R&B Tommy Castro and Magic Dick charge into “Looking For A Love” with Deanna Bogart taking a verse and the horns some solo's. Taking the revue back to it's roots the last two cuts are recorded on the high seas of the Blues Cruise. Castro's “High On The Hog” features the whole band plus special guests Elvin Biship on guitar and Mike Emerson on B3. As a fitting finale Marcia Ball takes over the piano and vocals for a romp through Huey Smith's rockin' “Sea Cruise”. The whole CD rocks and rolls like a fully loaded party and the only thing that could top this would be rockin' on the cruise yourself.
