Mick Kolassa is a versatile musician who knows to passionately perform both a completely acoustic repertoire and build songs backed by an electric band He has often worked with guitar player Jeff Jensen This time and taking advantage of gigs stop due to the pandemic lockdown, Mick and Jeff have been able to totally devote themselves to the album recording and production, where they have counted with Jeff Jensen’s own band formed by Bill Ruffino on bass, John Blackmon on drums, Rick Steff on keyboards and Eric Hughes on harmonica They have also added several notable guests who enhance this job entitled If You Can’t Be Good, Be Good At It! Eleven songs, nine of them Mick Kolassa’s own compositions plus two covers Lo And Behold coming from James Taylor and Who’s Been Talking by Howlin’ Wolf give shape to an album where rhythm and blues, minor key slow blues, Memphis soul and some gospel drops are tastefully and accurately combined to make as a result a bright and at the same time solid recording All the album economic benefits go to the Hart Fund and Generation Blues programs carried out by The Blues Foundation in Memphis
