Glenn Kaiser explains Blues Heaven II:
Many years as a fan, writer and performer of blues, R&B and soul music placed me in the sort of space where even the hard rock of Rez Band and some of the acoustic music I’ve written gave witness to such roots. Having “the blues” is so common to us all; in families, job situations, sports teams (hey, I’m form Chicago). This is in part why I think so many people relate to blues music. Response to Blues Heaven was (at least to me) rather amazing. We hope you enjoy the second helping, Blues Heaven II. – Glenn Kaiser

After more than three decades of making original music, Kaiser is known for his raw, bluesy vocals, firey guitar playing, bottleneck slide and harmonica work on thirty recordings and innumerable live shows. Glenn and his family have lived in Chicago’s inner city for over thirty years doing mission work with people not unlike he once was.

Kaiser has released several acoustic-based CDs in between his electric blues and blues/rock albums. His seminal delta blues projects Trimmed and Burnin’ and follow-up Slow Burn (both with harp player/singer Darrell Mansfield) established him as a singular and authentic Christian bluesman. Three contemporary worship albums along with the folk-pop Time Will Tell, fill out the acoustic discography. Acoustic cuts also comprise half of Kaiser’s critically acclaimed Ripely County Blues project recorded in a log cabin lodge in rural Missouri.

Glenn’s most recent recording, the acoustic-based Bound For Glory features his unique arrangements of old hymns and spiritual choruses done mostly in the blues tradition he so loves.
