Abstract:

This album is pure fun. The hot and spicey musical gumbo is very tasteful and enteitaining, bringing you mostly originals. Their source is afro-american music from the fifties. They dig Lousiana swamp blues, urban Chicago westside style, and r&b alike. The sound of the recording is superb, powerful and anything but slick. Jerry Hall flew in from Los Angeles. He was the man at the board. The producing part was taken over by Marc Thyijs of international fame. He was a member of the popular Electric Kings from Begium, and has an album out under his own name.
B.B. & The Blues Shack are a powerful and dynamic young band, playing more than 120 shows a year, all over Europe. If your not familiar with them, check them out! They are on top of Europe traditional blues league!
