Blues in My Blood explained
Blues in My Blood is the debut album of the team up of Tiffany Pollack and Eric Johanson,[7] released on February 15, 2019, on Nola Blue Records.
Background
Tiffany Pollack had been making music in New Orleans for a while, forming the band Beaucoup Crasseaux, then giving up music to pursue another career in the funeral industry and have children. She eventually returned to music, joining The Dapper Dandies and formed the jazz band Tiffany Pollack and Co. Pollack had been adopted at birth, and at age twenty-five was reunited with her biological family, where she discovered she was first cousins with blues-rock guitarist Eric Johanson who was lead guitarist for Cyril Neville and Terrance Simien, and had released his debut solo album Burn It Down in 2017.[8] The cousins' mothers encouraged the two to work together.[4] The two performed together at various locations, their first public performance was at the Arts Council of Central Louisiana's A-Town Jazz Series. From the recordings of that performance, Nola Blues Records offered them a deal to make an album together.[9]
