Boo Boo Davis belongs to the last generation of musicians that write and
play the blues based on first hand experience of life in the Delta. This
week we recorded 13 great tracks for his upcoming record. All music, sounds
and noises that you will hear on this record are coming from Boo Boo's vocal
chords and harmonica, John Gerritse's drumkit or my guitars. What started a
z crazy idea after the tour with Boo Boo Davis in October 2007 turned out to
work great. On the Spring Tour of 2008 we left out the bass and worked as a
trio. Boo Boo's voice didn't need any modification; it's as loud a fog horn
(during the years he sang many amps and speaker boxes to pieces). John
created a great drum kit (100 % Radio King with real skin heads) around his
70+ years old 28 inch bass drum and I bought a baritone guitar and put very
heavy strings on my regular guitars. All this together made a very fat, big
and authentic sound. Boo Boo sounds better then ever with this new set up.
I plan to release the record in September 2008 but I should be able to give
some listening samples soon.

"De twaalf nummers van eigen hand overtuigen moeiteloos, terwijl de sfeer en
de uitvoering de ziel van de blues raken."
