• Track Listing

His piano playing was like no one else in jazz or blues—and he couldn’t be neatly filed under either of those, which is part of what made Mose so distinctive and wonderful. His understated singing was a joy, too, but it’s his devastatingly witty songwriting that made Mose a hero to so many. This celebration of his life and music finds an array of artists tapping into the humor and darkness of his brilliant songs: "Your Mind Is on Vacation" Taj Mahal, "If You Live" Jackson Browne, "Stop This World" Chrissie Hynde, "Everybody’s Crying Mercy" Bonnie Raitt, "If You’re Going to the City" Iggy Pop, "Parchman Farm" Richard Thompson and more. Both the CD and double 180-gram vinyl editions include a DVD of the 2005 Mose documentary "Ever Since I Stole the Blues"! (Sales benefit the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.) Fat Possum.
