    Yes, that's right, guitar'd and feather'd. Three wonderful women, one memorable evening. Candye Kane, Deborah Coleman, and Dani Wilde are touring together.

    In just three years, the Ruf Records BluesCaravan has become an extremely popular musical event reaching more and more blues fans in more parts of the world. After stopping off in Paris, London and Berlin, the 2007 edition played over a dozen concerts in the USA and was a featured attraction at the renowned Notodden Blues Festival in Norway. Setting off under the title "Guitar'd and Feathered," the trio of outstanding artists on the 2008 BluesCaravan tour promises to continue the trend.

    "Guitar'd and Feathered" is the name of an exciting new album by California singer Candye Kane. Kane was on board for the initial BluesCaravan in 2005 and rejoins the tour on the heels of her hot new release. Famed for her flamboyant style and powerhouse vocals, the award-winning singer has authored eight albums to date on labels like Antone's, Rounder, Sire and of course, Ruf.

    One of the artists holding up the "Guitar'd" end of the bargain is Deborah Coleman. The Virginia native has earned 11 Blues Music Award (W.C. Handy) nominations and has long been a respected performer in the United States. Last year, she finally got a chance to show off her talents to European audiences on the 2007 BluesCaravan tour. Boasting slick chops and an uncanny stage presence, Coleman can lay back on soulful, groove-oriented numbers or tear it up with some incendiary rock. Those who caught last year's performances won't want to miss this return engagement.

    The BluesCaravan also has been instrumental in breaking talented young artists to an international audience. Ruf Records' latest discovery is British singer/guitarist Dani Wilde. Inspired by American greats like John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy, Wilde - who's just in her early 20s - has already shared stages with stars like Jools Holland and Gary Moore. While major labels were coveting her for her mainstream appeal, she decided to stay true to her first love, the blues. "In 33 years in the music business, I've never heard a British female singer of such brilliant raw talent," said one industry insider. Listen for yourself!
