NORTHERN BLUES DOUG COX & SALIL BHATT/Slide to Freedom 2-Make a Better World: A couple of cats with a great sound to match their great resumes get back together for another round of showing what they can do with their strings, their minds and a few pals that want to help them bring out the best. A tasty world beat session that will reshape your visions of the kind of world beat that can come from Canada, these two tear it up and take you to places you’ve only heard in dreams, but wouldn’t mind revisiting. Hot stuff.
