ROYAL BLUE was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
For her first album in seven years, Koko Taylor returns with a flurry of gritty material and a roster of guest royalty befitting the Queen of the Blues. Kicking things off with the fiery "Save Your Breath," Taylor keeps the temperature high with swaggering originals like the stop-start "Don't Let Me Catch You (With Your Drawers Down)" and the gutbucket blues "Ernestine" (featuring Johnnie Johnson's supple piano playing). The most impressive self-penned number is "The Man Next Door," a duet with Keb' Mo' with a stripped-down arrangement featuring a reigned-in vocal turn by Taylor goosed along by Mo's twangy National Steel guitar and wailing harmonica.
Elsewhere, the Queen mixes it up with young hotshot Kenny Wayne Shepherd (a searing cover of Melissa Etheridge's "Bring Me Some Water") and meets up with regal counterpart B.B. King (the crackling "Blues Hotel"). Taylor also has fun leisurely tearing into Ray Charles's "But On The Other Hand" and maintaining her bawdy image with the no-nonsense "Keep Your Booty Out Of My Bed."

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...ROYAL shows that this blues lioness still has her bite, and plenty of roar.
Rolling Stone (09/14/2000)

4.5 stars out of 5 - ...A major production number, complete with guest stars and contemporary material....The interaction of B.B. King and Koko is classic stuff...
Down Beat (09/01/2000)

...[She] roars with a gale force....Taylor is in classic earth-shakin' form....A lot of versatility.
JazzTimes (11/01/2000)

...The pipes may be all of 65 years old, but the Queen of Chicago Blues can still rip it up like nobody else.
