Album Notes

Are you ready to Boooooogie????? "Boogie Woogie Special" is a raw, sweaty, high energy session of true Boogie Woogie in the purest and Boogiest sense of the word. Recorded live by Dutch Boogie institution: André Valkering and his then protégé Eric-Jan Overbeek, (a very young Mr.Boogie Woogie!) the music jumps and swings like mad, track after track including the wailing opener "Roll Over Boogie" right through to the last "Honky Tonk Train Blues". The swinging "Pianorepairman Boogie" written and performed by Overbeek gives us the first glimpse of the lightning quick, pounding left hand that will become Overbeek's signature. Once heard Boogie Woogie Special will quickly take it's deserved place as one of the classics of your boogie collection.
