If you're not working...We'll be in your area this weekend. Cool Disposition will be at Blues On Grand in Des Moines Sat. March 21 for our Iowa CD Release of "Jumping In The Mudd"
Tom Hyslop of Blues Revue says -
"With Jumping In The Mudd, Cool Disposition solidify their position as Minnesota’s premier blues band... You will find no blues-rock here, and take my word for it: You won’t miss it... Jumping In The Mudd contains nothing but the blues and blues-related music, with shuffles in several varieties, Latin blues rhythms, R&B ballads, jump blues, rootsy rockers, and a splash of soul. The band makes a compelling case for the continuing vitality of these classic styles in every song"
