A duo formed by drummer, guitar player and vocals, with a proposal that includes nine original songs, as well as a version of Little Walter’s song My Babe, are what bring us Chris Gill and Derrick ‘D’Mar’ Martin, two musicians who came to participate as finalists in the last International Blues Challenge 2011 with their nice Real Good Friend cd The album should be described as surprising, since each track features a totally rewarding musical experience, both for the originality of every song approach, and the way they were recorded, without any special effects, no overdubs, no studio devices, nothing at all, simply live music The duo has a wide imagination and his syncopated rhythms provide a different attractive groove to most of the cd songs An amazing dynamism and a variety of tempos to suit all musical tastes, with some Skip James influences, as well as funky-rumba or juicy ballads, without forgetting the real country blues
