Album Notes & Community Reviews

A magnificent cross-cultural collaboration, this record pairs pioneering Dutch blues-rock outfit Cuby + Blizzards with visiting Chicago piano-blues veteran Eddie Boyd. The resulting sessions yield a heavy, authentic, and deeply unpretentious slab of electric blues that heavily anchored the burgeoning European blues scene. The record highlights the profound mutual respect between American originators and young continental revivalists.
