A blues-blues rock-oriented show, leading with Colin James in recognition of his headlining slot at the annual Kitchener Blues Festival which began Thursday night here and runs through Sunday.

Included in the set are blues legends/influencers like John Lee Hooker, his cousin Earl Hooker and Muddy Waters, the early, Peter Green-led blues version of Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack with Christine Perfect, later Christine McVie and a future Mac member on lead vocals, Jethro Tull from that band’s first, blues-oriented album This Was and atypical AC/DC with the bluesy Ride On. It’s from the 1976 album (not released in North America until 1981) Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and later appeared on the 1986 album Who Made Who which is the soundtrack to the movie Maximum Overdrive, loosely based on Stephen King’s short story Trucks.
