I cannot believe I have never witnessed this band in a live setting, I already know they would be one of my favourites of all time. Just a quick break from reviewing the album as a whole, they have some live songs on this album and they sound absolutely magical. I could almost imagine Muddy Waters being a part of this song which is a testament to how good this band sounds. The difference being that this includes Taranaki which i believe would be a head scratchier for those from New Orleans.Ĭrossroads Blues is a ring back to the old school sounding blues.
#KOKONO ALBUM HOW TO#
The whole song is started and finished with the trusty harmonica which just shows the prowess of this wonderful band.Īny Road Up is a favourite of mine when it comes to the album, this band really knows how to tell a story harking back to the old days of the ol blues story tellers from the southern states of the USA. The first song GB Boogie proves one thing to me, you do not always need someone singing int he song for you to have a good time. There is something for every mood, and to change ones mood at the same time. This album has a great mix of blues, rock, bluegrass and the odd Ballard here and there. I got my old ghetto blaster out, sat it down on my veranda, climbed upon my hammock with a fresh cold brew and allowed the warm air and blues spirit rip through my Canterbury home.
As a wannabe blues musician who thinks he is the next incarnation of a BB King who fell into a pot of Muddy Waters, I had no doubt that this experience would be one that I would need to saver. 16 Blues songs to review was my mission if I chose to accept it, well naturally I did, otherwise you would not be reading this, but let me just tell you something, was I excited? Oh you can bet your bottom dollar I was.
