This live recorded cd from Tel Aviv is the third album of the band led by singer and harmonica player Dov Hammer and singer snd guitar player Sagi CG Shore, two American musicians who settled in Israel many years ago The CG & The Hammer show along the whole cd the strength, ability, experience and ressources they have got along the years, thanks to a cool well settled Chicago blues, performed with a sober sound, together with a contemporary striking arrangements Although the band plays some classic blues, they do not intend to copy the masters of the genre, because this four musicians band have a very original sound, which follows the usual path of many groups which, based on Chicago blues, follow a natural and spontaneous evolution that drives them to what any actual fan looks for a band, that is nothing but a combination of good taste, energy, passion and honesty And I dare say CG & The Hammer fully get it
