In recent years singer and harmonica player Tony Holiday has managed to develop a growing career, with more than two hundred shows per year both in Europe and USA, where he comes from Now he has decided to do a pause in his full schedule, to engage himself in this project he was willing to do from quite a long time As you will easily imagine when you look at the album name, it is an acoustic and analogue recording, where the most important things are the feeling, the strength, the dramatic force and the blues in their most pure conception and development With these ideas on mind, Tony wanted to pay homage to those old country ‘back porch sessions’ and I can say he has managed to fully capture the essence and atmosphere of those sessions The roster of musicians and friends who have played in the recording is really impressive, as Tony Holiday has been surrounded by artists like Charlie Musselwhite, James Harman, Kid Ramos, John Németh, John Primer, Bob Corritore, Kid Andersen (this time on bass), Aki Kumar, Rockin’ Johnny Burgin or Mitch Kashmar among others The most genuine blues easily flows to captivate listeners in a totally spontaneous but, at the same way, straight solid way along the thirteen songs that have been selected for the recording This is a cd that undoubtedly will convince all listeners from the first to the last song In short words, a more than a pleasant album!
