As I once mentioned some years ago, Darrell Mansfield is an emotional singer with a deep vigorous voice, but he also is a traditional blues harmonica player, both in its conception, phrasing and style and in its straightforward aharp and roaring sound He also uses a powerful amplifier distortion that, sometimes, is in between Mark Wenner and Magic Dick Darrell has been honoured with different awards, like the Hohner Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Blues Hall of Fame in 2009 Our man has a long and extensive career on his back and has gathered a huge experience along his more than thirty years on the road In his professional record he has the honor and guarantee to have participated in more than 30 album recordings since ihe began in the blues business His first album comes from 1976 and was entitled Gentle Faith Among the countless musicians who have invited him to put his harmonica in different recordings and studio sessions, there can be mentioned Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Adam Again or Loverboy among others The blues Darrell Mansfield performs in these three albums can be defined as traditional but at the same time filled with a very contemporary style Both Delta Blues & Gospel Collection and Rock & Blues Collection are two exquisite collections of thirty-seven songs selected from ten other albums he recorded under his own name On the other hand, I Am Not Alone is the last new work he recorded last year Ten appetizing powerful songs that will leave listeners breathless by the good reliable rock-blues dose Mansfield is backed Jan-Peter Beijersbergen and Brian Waterbury on guitars, bass players Mark Dekkers and Bryan Edgell, drummer Mitch Ross and the backin voice of Tina Paulson Be ready to enjoy with Darrell Mansfield’s excellent music
