Search - Lars-Luis Linek :: White Boys Blues

2008 three CD digipak release. Traditional blues enjoyed a renaissance during the '60s and '70s, leading to young white musicians becoming inspired by the 'dirty blue notes' that provide the typical Blues feeling. Highlights from this period are featured on the bonus CD, which includes John Mayall's `Why Worry?', Chicago's `Purples' and Johnny Winter's `Look Up'. Modern blues from Linek himself can be heard on Disc One and Disc Two: together with Blues greats like Tom Shaka, Abi Wallenstein, Herb Geller and Pierre Gimenez from Los Satellites, Linek and his band present self-composed numbers, which range from Swing and shuffle to Latin and Country Blues. The album is further proof that the blues speaks a language understood all over the world and that it is also a versatile and multi-faceted style of music. Documents.
