Al Lerman is a prolific musician who, besides composing and singing, plays harmonica, guitar, saxophone and even dares with percussion, but it is the harmonica the instrument he is well known to play, that has led him to become one of the most popular harmonica players in his country, Canada During his long career he has worked as backing musician or leading his own band, Fathead, a cult blues band in Canada This is the third Lerman’s solo album that has been produced by reputed musician and producer Alec Fraser who also plays bass in most of the album songs Lerman has chosen some of his favourite musicians to back hum along this great well performed blues album, that brings large doses of colourful intensity The result is a vibrant, perfectly built recording where all musicians give the best of themselves Eleven Lerman’s own songs, plus a version of a classic Delta blues song, Kokomo, by Kokomo Arnold, make up a varied appetizing blues album, specially tailored to show Lerman’s bright skills on vocals, harmonica and electric and acoustic guitars
