Blues Preacher is an album by American guitarist James Blood Ulmer recorded in 1992 and released on the Japanese DIW label and in the US on Columbia/DIW.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 1½ stars stating "Ulmer sticks to a harsh blues-rock groove, with many of the one-chord vamps sounding like they are leftovers from John Lee Hooker's repertoire. There are no harmolodics (and little jazz) to be heard on the CD, and this rather primitive music is to be recommended only to fans of Ulmer's shouting vocals.[2]
