In the transient world of the music business, it is no mean achievement to have made 45 albums in 40 years as a performer, but this is what Dana Gillespie has done, accurately reflecting her status as Europe's leading blues diva. Although she has recorded sacred music albums in Sanskrit and sleek pop albums, she is best recognised for her blues repertoire. Dana is in a class of her own, respected by her peers, and endlessly touring the world. "Staying Power" is a fine example of her ever-evolving stage show, and reflects perfectly where the Queen of the blues is at today. Her fourth CD for Ace features ten original compositions plus Frankie Miller's "You're The Star."
