about

Thanks so much for being a part of our Music Maker family! We’re proud to share No. 49 in our Listener’s Circle series of releases, “Whose Blues?” Sharing the music we love is at the heart of what the entire Music Maker family does. To discover and find contentment with the music of these incredible artists always brings us joy.

If you have been a Listener’s Circle member all year, you know that this year’s selections were produced by our longtime band leader, drummer extraordinaire Ardie Dean. To long- timers: You will hear some familiar songs that have been released on these artists’ solo recordings, as well as a few that have never been brought forth. Hearing them all put together is a special experience.

These are songs of lovers, legends, and friends. Ardie is old-school. Every time he finishes a Listener’s Circle compilation, we receive — via snail mail — the master recording on a CD. After loading No. 49 and pushing play, I was overwhelmed hearing my friends perform, flashing back on the places, the times, my own personal journeys to the moments when we set up the microphones to record. In this time of pandemic, I imagine we have all had periods of reflection.

But my reflections pass quickly, and I focus on the stories of the songs. It is so important that this music was documented. Taj Mahal called me last night and reinforced why he got involved with us and why he is so proud to be a part of the Music Maker family. Music Maker has music that no one else has, that no one else ever took the time to record. These performances are timeless and they will continue to be appreciated, understood, and cherished.

Thank-you all for joining and generously supporting our mission.


With warm regards,
Tim Duffy
