Blues Matters! 6 20 CONIL When you see Tchad Blake at the helm, you know – after gaining notoriety from his collaboration with Tom Waits - the artist and the music is going to be a little bit special, and the critical response to Conil’s debut album in 2008 certainly met expectations. “Tchad was great, not only did he teach me a great deal about production; we had a really good time together. After we finished, I really felt inspired by what you could become if you devoted your life to music... We did drink quite a lot actually, both whiskey and wine.”
