King, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie and Jimmie Vaughn, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Etta James, Bobby Blue Bland, John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy. Mel Brown was such a Guitarist.

Mel's bringing it to the" boiling point "adaptation of "In The Mood" is a Master Class, and his 12 minute reimagining of "Hey Joe" celebrates both his musical Released in a numbered limited edition of just 500 copies to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Mel Brown's passing.

" An eminently worthy addition to Mel Brown's legacy. The music has been
specially remastered for Vinyl and sounds gorgeous".
