The Reb Blake Show showcases Marin County bandleader, accompanist, manager, music business consultant, certificated wild land firefighter, decorated for heroism in combat as a firefighter during the Viet Nam war, project manager on nuclear aircraft carriers, father, husband and Master’s of Science degree holder Reb Blake on his first solo project since 1972. This project titled "Reb Blake With", showcases world famous, deeply artistic musicians playing the notes they choose jamming on twelve great songs. These are the songs Reb has always wanted to record. The genre is blues based rock and roll performed as only the best of the best of San Francisco’s Sound can make it, featuring the likes of Grammy award winner, multi platinum record seller Bill Champlin (coauthor of After the Love is Gone for Earth Wind and Fire with David Foster) of Chicago on piano and B-3, Huey Lewis on harp, and Gary Duncan, legendary other guitarist of Quicksilver Messenger Service on acoustic and electric guitars and Norman Mayall of Sopwith Camel, Blue Cheer and Norman Greenbaum of Spirit in the Sky fame, Kent Earl Houseman , Blue Cheer and Copperhead songwriter, Richi Ray, George Harrison in Beatlemania, Pete Kelly of Axl Rhodes band on some drums and Bill Lombardo of Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians on the rest and Drew Youngs on guitar. Reb plays bass, guitar and sings lead on all but two of the tunes. Drew Youngs sings the others as well as back ups.  This album may be one of the best blues/rock compilations to come out of Northern California this century.

The project is produced by Drew Youngs , one of the finest educated musical ears alive today. Drew also tech wizards, engineers, produces, plays nylon latin jazz guitar, keyboards, sings and is one all around accomplished master musician.

The songs were recorded in Pro Tools HD and LE over the last three years. Sessions were done in Sausalito’s Record Plant, Nashville, Montana, San Francisco, Mill Valley, Atascadero, Los Angles and Palm Springs.
