VA - Blind Brilliance, Celebrating Visionary Musicians (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

Musicians who have been born blind or lost their sight at an early age have consistently demonstrated an extraordinary ability to communicate through music. Despite the challenges of visual impairment, these artists have shown an exceptional capacity to express themselves, often surpassing their sighted counterparts in musical prowess.

These musicians, regardless of the genre they choose to express themselves in, have achieved remarkable success in their careers. Their talent for music was evident from a young age, and they have since made significant contributions to the world of music.

Their journey is not just about their musical achievements, but also about their resilience and determination. They have shown that blindness is not a barrier to musical expression. Instead, it can often enhance their ability to communicate through music, as they rely more heavily on their sense of hearing and touch. Their success serves as an inspiration to all, demonstrating that physical limitations do not define one’s potential. Their stories are a testament to their talent, resilience, and the power of music to transcend physical limitations.

Presented here are 75 tracks that are a fitting tribute to these extraordinary musicians. The first two CDs are related to the rock, blues rock, pop, soul, folk, country, jazz and easy listening genres. The third CD is dedicated to the Blues and Reggae artists and their inovative music style.  

These three CDs celebrate their talent and resilience, and the power of music to transcend physical limitations. Their ability to convey emotions and stories through music, in spite of the obstacles they encounter, stands as a powerful tribute to their resilience and talent. It is a celebration of their visionary spirit and their contribution to the world of music. (B)
