After his wide experience along more than twenty years in different bands as sideman or band leader (‘City Shakers’, ‘Groovy Eyes’ ‘Crawfish Kings’, ‘Tiny Tones’…), Jo’ Buddy brings us his first cd recorded under his own name For a long time he has been maturing this idea and finally he has done it ‘Grits & Rattles’ gathers twelve original songs where Jo on guitar and vocals and Down Home King III on drums have conceived a rich original musical speech with cool ‘garage rock blues’, built over different basis, from ‘swamp blues’ to ‘ska’, ‘neo-rockabilly and even ‘down-home-blues’ A very interesting album from a gifted musician who deserves recognition for those of you who are not familiar with his career
