"The Detroit Blues Challenge 2005 Finals"  (NCP083) This year's finals was recorded on November 27th for release as a compilation Cd which will help raise funds for the Detroit Blues Society. (apologies to the Martindales who are not included due to technical difficulties).   Last year was the first finals to be recorded and the resulting compilation cd Detroit Blues Challenge Finals 2004 (NCP060) was released last June. Copies are available through the No Cover Cd's you can buy section of this website. While these tracks should not be considered the definitive recordings of these bands due to the fact that everything is live  they are none the less a great set of tunes that are very enjoyable to listen to.
