With eleven albums published so far, singer and guitar player Mick Kolassa comes back to the front line with the energy, passion and enthusiasm of a beginner but, at the same time, with the professionalism and knowledge he treasures, thanks to the experience in the music field gathered over the years.
Produced by Jeff Jensen, Kolassa shows an undeniable authority in the whole recording, walking with professionalism along blues and other similar styles such as jazz, soul, funky, groove, gospel or rock, in thirty-five minutes of excellent music and twelve songs, eight Mick Kolassa’s own compositions and four versions “Alibis And Lies” coming from Steve Pasek, “Leavin’ Trunk” by Sleepy John Estes, “Are You Ready?” by Charlie Allen & John Hill and “Real Man” by John Hiatt.
Mick Kolassa is backed in the album by Jeff Jensen on guitar, Dexter Allen on bass and guitar, Rick Steff on keyboards and John Blackmon on drums, plus different collaborations by Bill Ruffino, Andrew McNeill, Marc Franklin, Chris Stephenson, Kirk Smothers and the backing vocals of singers J. Remy Williams, Julia Melah and Donna Jones Nickelson. As he usually does, all the album proceeds will go to support The HART Fund and Generation Blues programs, sponsored by the Blues Foundation.
