Seventh SpikeDrivers album with the genuine deepest spirit of semi-acoustic blues, spiced with contemporary elements and overtones Fourteen relaxing peaceful songs, where the group manages to communicate a calm wraping atmosphere, with an excellent inspired guitar touch, mixture of JJ Cale and Robert Johnson This original group includes three clever musicians Ben Tyzack on guitar, vocals and harmonica, founded the group in London (where he comes from) eighteen years ago He has written most of the songs included and has also composed music for Channel 4 ‘Car Wars’ Constance Redgrave, bass, vocals and percussion, was born in Los Angeles and has worked with Otis Grand, Steve Cropper and Anson Funderburgh, among others Finally Maurice McElroy, drums, vocals and percussion comes from Belfast and he has also played with Larry Garner, Phillip Walker and Guitar Shorty We are facing to a delicious intimist delicate good laid album, where melodic lines are drawn from the perspective of three interesting musicians who display a very attractive proposal
