..... An excellent album from one of the leading blues bands in Greece.
The band performs a great blend of Texas and modern Chicago style blues.
Soulful, easy
grooving blues with plenty of great guitar soloing. Mostly original
songs written by the vocalist and bass player Dimitris Ionnaou and
guitarist Stelios Zafeiriou. Well-produced and arranged, too.
