    Valoración: VERY GOOD

The duo formed by drummer Derrick D’Mar Martin and singer and guitar player Chris Gill suggest and drive us to a timeless music land, where blues takes the main role Both musicians create a wrapping, magical, hypnotic and attractive sound where the song lyrics have also a prominent importance Backed by a team of excellent musicians such as Kid Andersen on drums and guitar, Bob Welch on piano, Aki Kumar on harmonica and Jerry Groovemaster Jemmot on bass, all them display a substantial and highly recommendable repertoire of thirteen songs performed on a calm fine way, which gives as a result an album that communicates a beautiful musical atmosphere together with an amazing intensity D’Mar comes from a more urban environment as, for fifteen years, he was drummer at Little Richard’s band nd he also participated in lots of live shows and television programs On the other hand, Chris Hill comes from a much more rural and countryside environment, so his sound and the way he plays slide has been learned directly of Mississippi Delta old masters The perfect union of both musicians gives as a result a mixture of ancestral rhythms with more musical and subtle shapes
