Description
Heads Up! is a great title for this album, because this collection of songs and performances is truly something the WHOLE Blues world should be paying attention to.
I hear something here, I feel something here, something that I haven't felt since I first discovered the REAL blues.
There are a lot of really good blues musicians in Europe, there is no doubt about that.
For half my life, I lived there myself, and that is where I discovered the Blues, and started learning about it, and how to play it. But after a while, I started sensing that there was something MORE, that as much as I loved this music, and had many like-minded friends who did... I was missing part of the picture.
That is why I have been living in the USA since I was 21 years old, and I was right.
There WAS something missing, and the more I lived and learned and played in the USA, the more I realized that I understood very little about this music when I was living in my home country. And the more I became a part of the Blues world in its land of origin, the harder it was for me to enjoy European blues artists.
They could PLAY, but they couldn't sing. Or they could sing, but they couldn't understand the context of what they were singing about. They could mimic and learn, but they couldn't really do their win thing with the blues, in a way that convinced me.
Well, now I AM convinced. Everything I just said, SirJo & Balta's new album is something different than that. THIS music rings true.
These guys have got it, they are doing everything "right" but also doing it in their own way.
The guitar playing, the ensemble playing, and most of all the incredible VOCALS, it all knocks me out!
I think SirJo & Balta truly represent a milestone in European blues, for they are not just great Blues MUSICIANS, they are great Blues ARTISTS.
