It is undeniable Wentus Blues Band has become now one of the best European blues groups, greatly indebted of the most original and appetizing 60’s Chicago west side blues sound They have done countless tours and shows in Europe and USA and they have become a real institution and a primal blues benchmark in Scandinavian countries and especially in Finland where they come from Kim Wilson once said they perform blues in a way that USA would feel proud about In this last work they want to honour some of their heroes and mentors like Canned Heat, Eddie Kirkland, Louisiana Red, Phil Guy or Carey Bell, by playing some of their favourite songs written by these legendary artists, to complete a total of fifteen songs that round up the album, all performed with an amazing credit, unbelievable attack and good attitude The band musicians are Juho Kinaret on vocals, Niko Riippa on guitar, Pekka Gröhn on keyboards, Robban Hagnäs on bass and Daniel Hjerppe drums This is a fantastic recording that brings us a good dose of genuine real blues
