These guys really enjoy what they do. Joyful blues including some classics like “Bright Lights Big City”, “Crosscut Saw” (sung on the same vocal tone Bob Dylan would have done it, except in the accent, of course), along with other less known shuffles and slows, some of them original ones. The Pure Tones bring us warm genuine straight music, they perform with great enthusiasm, energy, passion and knowledge. The Tones cook Chicago blues with a Spanish flavor, as they come from Sevilla and the true thing is they cook it well, neither so much well-done nor too raw. The band includes an historic Southern Spanish blues musician, well known among national blues fans, Manuel De Arcos harmonica and vocals, (totally inspired in acoustic and electrified harmonica), together with Francisco Martinez guitar, Andrés Palma, bass and vocals and Domingo González on drums. In addition the cd features three guest musicians in some cuts. The album was recorded in studio in 2006, except the songs “Memphis Train” and “Blues del Renault” that were recorded live at Pub Yzenjoll (Sevilla) in November 2008.
