    Valoración: ESSENTIAL

Although they were friends for a long time, it was not until 2016 that Chicago style blues singer and guitar player Nick Moss and harmonica player and singer Dennis Gruenling decided to work together and put in common their big knowledge and incredible technique Both musicians deeply love and are masters in blues as few ones are able to play now Moss began his career playing with Jimmy Dawkins or Jimmy Rogers among other Chicago blues masters On the other side Gruenling, who is younger than Moss, became passionate of harmonica when he listened to legendary Harp Attack! album, so his influences can be found in artists like James Cotton, Junior Wells, Carey Bell, Billy Branch, Little Walter or George Harmonica Smith This new Alligator album goes into the most traditional and genuine Chicago south side blues, but it also flirts with West Coast blues, dirty swampy blues and even New Orleans rhythm and blues Eleven Nick Moss’ own songs, two more ones coming from Dennis Gruenling and a version of Ugly Woman due to the inspiration of Johnny O’Neal Johnson, give shape to an appetizing exceptional album where, apart from these impressing musicians and a perfect backing band, you will also find the collaboration of two remarkable guests like Monster Mike Welch in one song and Kid Andersen in five more
