Valoración: VERY GOOD
Croatian harmonica player and singer Tomislav Goluban is a restless vital musician, who participates in countless projects and carries out new ideas like to lead his own band, organize festivals, work as a radio dj or bring blues to schools. In 1997 he began to play harmonica and, since then on, he has evolved until becoming a recognized artist not only in Croatia but also in Europe and USA. This is his twelfth album where he displays a great musical variety, always rooted in blues, with ten own compositions and one version, that becomes a continuity of his previous recording as, although the two recording were done by a year apart, the musicians are almost the same ones and include Jeff Jensen on guitars, Mark Johnson on slide guitar, Rick Steff on keyboards, Bill Ruffino on bass and David Green on drums. Goluban has also counted with the valuable participation of Kirk Smothers on tenor sax, Marc Franklin on trumpet and Joseph Franher and Kelly Zirbes on backing vocals in some songs. This album is a good example of the engaging passion, sense of humor and commitment Tomislav Goluban always faces and develops his projects.
