"Ike Turner can still get it up, definitely." – Rolling Stone "There’s no doubt that Ike Turner is a musical treasure … [this is] ample evidence of his deserved place in the pantheon of popular American music." – Pop Matters "On Risin’ with the Blues, the R&B icon and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer takes the intensity level up with typically slashing-stinging guitar work, rollicking boogie-woogie piano flourishes, and some of the nastiest, rawest, most potent vocals he’s ever summoned up in a fabled career that dates back more than fifty years." – Bill Milkowski Ike’s back! Risin’ with the Blues is the first new CD by R&B icon Ike Turner since his critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Here and Now in 2001. Turner again fronts his legendary Kings of Rhythm band in a mix of new originals, a few re-worked Ike & Tina Turner hits from the sixties, and some blues classics, all in brand-new arrangements.
