Splendid cd only including piano and vocals performed by a bright german musician who founded The First Class Blues Band and if we move back on time, you will discover him as one member of those days reputed International Blues Duo As band musician or playing alone, Christian has a special talent, a tempo and cadence that makes him different from other white piano players of the same generation Here you will find a precise dynamic cd, straight and direct, with no theatrical playing or unnecessary resources Rannenberg gives us the pure acoustic blues feeling that only the great barrelhouse piano players had together with the inlfuences of his major influences, always connected with the juke-joints traditional performers, like Speckler Red, Henry Brown, Montana Taylor or Cripple Clarence Lofton among many other heros of that time who come to my memory listening to this amazing traditional classic piano blues player This is an excellent cd to keep always on mind
