Warner Bros. Records Senior Vice President of International, Tum Ruffino
remarked, "We have been actively working on putting One Foot In The Blues
together for over two years and to say that our international affiliates are
excited about its release is an understatement.  We're very pleased that the
timing of this release coincides with the renewed interest in blues.  It's
been worth the wait."
