Tab Benoit's previously unreleased Blues Masters at the Crossroads set, recorded live at Blue Heaven Studios in October 2002

Tab Benoit took the Blue Heaven Studios stage for the fifth annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads while touring behind Wetlands, the album that put him on the national map. This unreleased set captures the Houma, Louisiana bluesman at full power, from "Muddy Bottom Blues" to a "Mardi Gras Medley" and a closing run of "Cherry Tree Blues" into "Bayou Boogie." The night also brought a "Louisiana Legends" crew onstage with Benoit for Lil' Bob & The Lollipops' "I Got Loaded."

Recorded by David Baker and Katsuhiko Naito, mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tapes, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings.
