Juurevaa bluesia ruotsalaisvoimin englanniksi laulettuna. Saatavana CD/SACD- ja LP-versiona
It was by sheer coincidence we found Bottleneck John in September 2012 and for that we are very, very glad!
After a nice first meeting in my studio, everything was settled!
We had very similar ideas how to go about the album, and Bottleneck John made a great selection of songs and with a good variation.
On many tracks we also hear his blues brothers playing grand piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer, resonator & upright bass, percussion, fiddle, mandolin etc.
With a fantastic voice and great slide guitar playing on all his resonator guitars – just have a look below or in the CD-booklet!! – this album is Bottleneck John´s debut on Opus 3 Records.
We are fortunate to have a very unusual and unique blues album, with so much authenticity and inspiration from the first half of the 20th century, when many legendary blues musicians were active.
In the CD-booklet, you find a lot of background and history of both the songs and the instruments used on the album, which is not that usual nowadays.
