Superb musicians. Refreshingly different.
author: JonOk, I've seen this band a few times around London in the past 6months or so. They have a really refreshing take on the Blues with both a funky (jazzy at times) style combined with real soulfulness. This is not pub rock SRV wannabe Blues. This is Blues done properly...with true feeling and beautiful musicianship. This CD does them proud. Fantastic production capturing the same kind of vibe from their live playing.
An Impressive Debut!
author: Blues in Britain magazineEXTRACT from Blues In Britain Magazine review (August 2006) BluesMix - London Nights Rating 8 out of 10, Recommended) ...And then you reach the song 'Why Did You Have To Go?'..The song is an epic. It commences with an emotional outpouring from Morgan's compelling minimlist sax then glides into some call and response, the likes of which would make even Page and Plant envious, between the horn and Rob Fleming's vocals. There follows a Hammond organ solo that stirs such deep waters within that the listener risks staring directly into their own soul. The knockout blow arrives when Fleming concludes with a few carefully chosen licks on his guitar. The beauty is in the pace - slow. It is this rare languidness that gives the music its real impact. It takes a strong character to endure something so moving and a fool not to appreciate it. And it is but one song an impressive debut. Rating 8. Jonathan Blackstaffe, Blues In Britain.
