eyboard player Barry Goldberg
is upbeat as he talks about
Buried Alive in the Blues, the
new Chicago Blues Reunion CD, DVD
and current tour, which he fondly calls
"Spinal Tap for the geriatric set."
CBR, after all, is a band of merry old
blues men — and one woman — most
in their 60s, whose paths crossed in
Chicago in their youth, and who have
been making music with one another in
various combinations for more than 40
years.
Joining forces a few years ago to play
a blues festival led to an invitation in
2004 to perform and record in sweet
home Chicago. That was an offer they
couldn't refuse, and CBR was born.
Ecstatic at the resulting music and
band chemistry, the members commit-
ted to do at least this one tour. They
take the stage at Detroit's Magic Stick
Saturday, July 30.

Scott Benarde is the author of "Stars of
David: Rock 'n' Roll's Jewish Stories"
(Brandeis University Press).

All The Right Notes

When you sound as tight, intense and
joyously explosive as Goldberg and
company do at their age, you can make
with the self-deprecating geriatric
jokes.
"We're a little slower getting down
the stairs, and on this tour [some of
us] have brought along our wives. At
this age, we need our comfort,"
Goldberg cracks again.
But age is relative. Goldberg's 102-
year-old mother, Nettie, attended the
live recording sessions at a Windy City
club last fall, and according to
Goldberg, was in better shape than the
nurse who accompanied her.
"When I got off stage, [my mother]
looked at me and said, 'You didn't miss
a note,"' says Goldberg, who produced
the CD and DVD.
In fact, the resulting 14-song Buried
Alive in the Blues, as well as the accom-
panying DVD with its live renditions
of original tunes and blues classics such
as "Born in Chicago" and "Drinking
Wine," hits all the right notes.
Interspersed with interviews and fas-
cinating historical footage of the
Chicago blues scene and those who
gave birth to it, Buried Alive snaps and
crackles musically and emotionally and
serves as a fascinating social history les-
son. An accompanying booklet features
rare photos and concert posters and an
essay explaining the significance of
these musicians. (Goldberg's thick
resume includes backing Bob Dylan at
the Newport Folk Festival in 1965,
when Dylan plugged in and created
