Album Notes

It has been a life-long ambition of Mike Sponza to record a European blues summit, and he has been working towards this goal since 2004. Mike produced 2 cd's and a DVD with the “Central European Blues Convention” since then. It has been an incredible experience! Bringing together artists from all over Europe to compose the album it was like piecing together a jigsaw: different artists’ styles, music preferences, cultural backgrounds not to mention the logistic and the economic implications. But then he wanted to create something different not an another compilation CD!
The goal is to produce a homogenous cd where Blues is the common language!
The songs are written for the purpose and artists experiences are fused together.
Mike focused on a real exchange between artists: he created and proposed the concept of "song-crossing". It’s cool to have a song composed, let’s say, by a German Artist and performed by a Hungarian one, and so on....
Corrections, changes, mistakes occurred in order to create a real “concept album” made by some of the finest and most original performers available in the Continent
