Biography
The Bluenotes was connected with Neil Yong's "This Note's For You"
Switching back to his old label Reprise Records, Young continued to tour relentlessly, assembling a new blues band called The Bluenotes in mid-1987 (a legal dispute with musician Harold Melvin forced the eventual rechristening of the band as Ten Men Working midway through the tour). The addition of a brass section provided a new jazzier sound, and the title track of 1988's This Note's For You became Young's first hit single of the decade. Members: Ben Keith, Chad Cromwell, Claude Cailliet, Frank Sampedro, John Fumo, Larry Cragg, Rick Rosas, Steve Lawrence, Tommy Bray
