It’s been five years since the last album released by Maple Blues award-winning outfit Raoul and the Big Time. The band has been playing on both coasts sporadically (band leader Raoul Bhaeja is a busy actor spending time in L.A. and T.O.), and now has a 12-track album in the can, recorded here in Toronto and in Burbank, California, featuring guest performances by members of Canned Heat and the Mavis Staples Band. The Hollywood Blvd. launch party will feature an expanded lineup of local blues artists, as well as a special guest, 2013 BB King Entertainer of the Year Curtis Salgado.
