Michael Packer is a singer, song-writer and guitar player gifted with an exceptional sensitivity and good taste He totally knows the business where he is sailing and, in this new work, he feels at ease along eight pure, original and solid blues songs You will find classic ones like The Thrill Is Gone, I’m Tore Down, Corina Corina or Born Under A Bad Sign, together with some own ones, all played with a warm energy, thanks to good work of Michael Packer himself and the valuable cooperation of some friends like Felix Cabrera on harp, great Lou Marini on sax, Jimmy Vivino on vocals and guitar or Dave Maxwell on piano A cf full of versions performed with a new inspired technique and feeling with an amazing excellent final result on faultless production with a perfect sound It is a genuine complete album that captures all the essence of the vintage spirit on a kind of music that perhaps could be defined as ‘New York City Blues’ sound
