The Blue Buzz is a new young Danish band playing old school
rhythm and blues music. This is the
bands first release and features 4 tracks. The band is a four piece with bass,
drums, guitar, harmonica and vocals. Jonathan, the lead singer, also plays the
guitar on some songs live. Oh, I starts things off as a slow blues number and
well executed and mellow but then really picks up and goes back and forth between
this relaxed and uptempo rhythm and a dash of harmonica thrown in. Hey Hey is a
bit more of a foot stomping bluesy dance number and features some nice
harmonica to compliment the track. Anyway, the B-side Peggy has a real old
school sound with garagy drums mixed far in the back, and a raw guitar but
clean vocal. Jonathan has this smooth voice.
If you just found this 7” in an old box you might think it was recorded
in the 60s.. Pretty cool…
I recently got to see the band play a two set live concert
and it was mostly all original material except a small anti-war (Country Joe
and the Fish) speech and a Muddy Waters cover. I really enjoyed them. Good
chemistry and a real retro sound.
The Sonic Shamen - Tribute To Lemmy is so far album of the year for me.What do you have brewing in 2017?
