It's getting closer to Christmas, and the labels will be prepping to release a full slate of new CDs for the fourth quarter sales. September offers up some fine blues music nonetheless, and this month's Blues CD list includes new jams from folks like Magic Slim, Albert Cummings, Elvin Bishop, and Jon Cleary as well as some reissues and one or two new faces. Here's what to expect on your grocer's shelf in September 2008.

Elvin Bishop – The Blues Rolls On

From his days with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the 1960s, through a series of blues-rock albums for Alligator during the '80s, to his critically-acclaimed Blind Pig releases during the last few years, Elvin Bishop's name is synonymous with the blues. For the recording of The Blues Rolls On, Bishop has enlisted the help of a veritable "who's who" of blues talent, from legends like B.B. King and James Cotton and rockers like Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, to modern bluesmen like Tommy Castro and John Nemeth. (Release date: 09/23/08)
