The Blinddog Smokin’ have gathered nine real good songs for their last album, which becomes a kaleidoscope of varied and diverse styles, all them deeply rooted in black music, which cover from rock and roll to the most primitive juke joint blues, New Orleans jazz or soul dance music All these styles come to our ears with a calm joyful and vital air The band personality is based on two fundamental pillars, a warm hot and greasy funk and, of course, the special singing and the original way to approach the repertoire of his charismatic leader Carl Gustavson In fact Carl defines himself as an adventurer, world traveller and philosopher who wants to spread his deep convictions in a trustworthy way in every song he plays Besides, he also runs a kind of diary entitled Tales Well Told, where he explains as an actual story teller the band’s adventures and misadventures that daily happen to them, which subsequently has finished on a book For this album, Carl Gustavson and his band have also counted with excellent guest musicians like Billy Branch or Shane Theriot In short words, this is an excellent, varied, creative and very successful work
