In 2018 Hannes Folterbauer and his wife Nicola travelled to Chicago and Mississippi Their aim was to visit some of the musicians who had previously recorded for their label, Wolf Records in Austria They also met Barbara Newman, Blues Foundation’s CEO One of the musicians they visited when they arrived to Mississippi was Terry ‘Harmonica’ Bean, who currently lives in Pontotoc, very close to the houses where Howlin’ Wolf or BB King’s cousin Bukka White used to live Another musician they contacted, this time in Clarksdale, was Super Chikan The chemistry immediately arose between these two musicians and Hannes, so he decided to do some recording sessions with both bluesmen playing at their homes, either solo or together The result is this more than interesting album that includes seven songs by Terry ‘Harmonica’ Bean, one of the actual representatives of ‘hill country blues’ who has released seven albums where he combines guitar, harmonica and vocals, plus eight songs by Super Chikan, one of the most genuine performers of Mississippi ‘down home blues’, who alternates his job as truck driver with his work as musician and composer If you want to enjoy an excellent session of the most real and genuine deep Mississippi blues, then this album should have a place in you record collection
