‘Blue Credentials,’ the new Malaya Blue album, is the follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘Still,’ and as the title suggests finds the outstanding UK vocalist delving ever deeper into her blues heart.

The long lost, and some said mythical, John Campbell track, “Howlin’ Mercy,” finally sees the light of day 30 plus years after Dennis wrote it and Elektra chickened out of releasing it.
