The title's no joke: Blues Roots is the lean, mean collection of blues standards Ike Turner (1931-2007) long promised to deliver, crafted with real conviction and energy. Turner cut the album in his home studio and played all the instruments himself, which contributes significantly to the music's raw, earthy appeal. Even his deadpan vocals work in this context. But whatever its other virtues, Blues Roots is first and foremost a showcase for Turner's blistering guitar, several cuts are instrumentals, in fact. And don't worry about authenticity, if anyone's lived this music, it's Ike. ~ All Music Guide
