Blues, blues, blues… here comes a well teamed trio with very clear ideas and a sound that always captures the whole atmosphere and the spirit of old pre-war blues and boogie-woogie, as well as the more urban blues of the twenties and especially the ones of the thirties and forties The trio faithfully and fluently moves along the old barrelhouse tradition, wrapping the whole album with a cool tasteful air from the first to the last song Twelve original tracks, performed with great skill, self confidence and an incredible love for the blues, which makes them sound spontaneous, with an amazing swing, credibility and good taste This Italian trio includes Lino Muoio on mandolin, Mario Donatone on piano and vocals and Francesco Sleepy Miele on double bass If you like those great masters who were Memphis Slim, Roosevelt Sykes, Leroy Carr, Big Maceo, Eddie Boyd or Curtis Jones, to only mention some of these musicians’ heroes, then be sure you are facing a wonderful album that will fill your expectations, because the trio explores the intricate and winding blues roads with great credibility and talent
