 Who has good contacts might be in the blues world that is obvious form the following story about this new album. The Dutch label Cool Buzz is responsible for the delivery of this fine disc. That is not so difficult to explain because there was already a link with the harp player and Ina Siegal, because this is already a thing they had done together. We listen to this album, then shoot course names like; Howlin Wolf, Ian Siegal, Tom Waites. 'How blue can you get? ' I say, because you can not have more. These boys have their influences, and the voice of Burgess seems occasionally like waits but is also sometimes fatal, yes like flowers, and sounds good. The harmonica player, Giles King is quite phenomenal if you ask me, and this band has a lot of potential I think, and we will certainly immediately. Driving with a blues feeling, as I described this album, which also tends to go off again mammas boys moreover?

The style is in many directions, and certainly you do not have to be bored, in fact it is still interesting. Check it out and learn in the dark cave with songs like Clarksdale Mill, Chocolate cake and The Way it Goes….Sometimes.
