Michael van Merwyk comes back once more to delight us with an acoustic album on a duo format, this time with one of the greatest names in European and especially Austrian blues development, like is singer, harmonica, accordion and, over all, piano player Christian Dozzler Although they have done lots of gigs together, they never had the opportunity till now to record an album In Darkest Night, these two musical monsters have worked hard to give us thirteen cuts of the best acoustic blues you can imagine Some of the songs included have been written almost one hundred years ago, so Merwyk and Dozzler aim is not only to develop the audience knowledge, but also entertain and give joy to all listeners And they got it because besides remaining faithful to the tradition, they also include high quality own details, they have collected and updated to delight everyone who listens to them Both show the whole influences they have received from totally different bluesmen, because for them blues is a way of living and feeling the music, but also a personal form of conceiving art and culture
