Bad Blood in the City: The Piety Street Sessions is an album by American guitarist James Blood Ulmer recorded in New Orleans at the Piety Street Recording Studios and released on the Hyena label in 2007. [1]
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states, "The creative place Blood finds himself in his partnership with Reid is yielding great fruit. This album is the strongest of their collaborations thus far, and is a wild ride through blues, R&B, and hard-driving distorted and feedback-laced — yet utterly musical — New Orleans funk. It's a monster". [2]
