Black River Bluesman and the Croaking Lizard play their Blues in the deep woods and swamps of the muddy Black River Delta way up North in cold Finland. Their unrefined, electric and hypnotic Blues have been compared to the rough sounds of the Mississippi Hill Country artists as well as to anything between Tom Waits and Jim Morrison or psychoblues and garage. Whatever the influences may be, they play their Blues with no compromises - just the way they feel.
“Jukka ´Black River Bluesman´ and his Cockroach Combo destroyed the woods and the mountains around their tiny hometown of Mustio Finland by carving their guitars, drums and harmonicas from whole ironwood trees with their bare hands and by using John Henry´s twelve pound hammer (with four foot handle) they beat down those mountains for brass, silver and iron (and coal to fire this thing) to fashion the rest of the parts they needed. When they were finished they stomped their thirst with a bottle of RL Burnside´s Bloody mthrfckr and sat down in the full moon light at that muddy crossroads between Holly Springs Mississippi, Mustio and County Kisko to play Their raw dirty beautiful Blues.” Rick Saunders, Deep Blues (USA), August 2006

Yes yo, The Dirty Robbers are here! Having just recorded a Live Sessions for Mark Lamarrs Radio 2 Show 'Gods Jukebox', the band are making waves, with forthcoming tours around the country. Get a piece of them right here.
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get the job of guitarist with Mike Sanchez, when Andy Silvester had to have an operation on his arm. I was a big fan, and by going to lots of gigs, got to know the guys and Andy quite well. Peter Green is my guitar hero, and Andy was good friends with him during the 60's. I would often pester him, and he used to tell me some great stories about the band and what was going on at the time. I'd spoken to Andy about getting my own band together, and the difficulty of finding young guys into the right music. He put me in touch with his nephew, Jesse Webb who turned out to be Stan Webbs son also! Small world! I met up with Jess a couple of times, and his playing was great, a real original sounding rawness and relaxed feel on the beat. I always wanted to get a band together that started in the right place-the blues. So many bands play original songs, which is great, but I always feel that they lack the groove. All the memorable bands started off playing the blues- The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac etc, and I think the reason they are so much better than any modern band is that they play the songs with a feel. Too many bands rely on structure and effects, whereas the old guys just used to churn out the tracks and make them move, which comes from playing R&B. Because of this, we thought it would be a good idea to start with the basics, getting us playing well as a band, and getting that groove going. The best stuff for that is the simple yet effective 50's chicago blues, stuff like those Freddie King instrumentals. Also, no one else seems to be covering this area of R&B on the circuit. We needed a good piano player. I'd heard through other people I worked with, of a young guy playing boogie woogie who would be into the stuff we were doing, Matt Foundling. He was playing with King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys, and I went to see him at Londons 100 Club. I was blown away with his playing, and approached him after the gig, and had a chat about the possibility of getting something together. We had a couple of rehearsals, and got Craig Rhind in on bass, who I'd worked with in a few different bands before. So we recorded a CD, and hopefully we'll see you at a gig soon!

If Tom Waits mother had got together with Howlin' Wolf - you'd probably end up with Ben Carr ! When he and the Hot Rats hit the Voodoo Lounge in Exeter, they unfailingly tear the place apart with the kind of rip roaring rambunctious show that has mothers clutching their daughters and old men chasing their mothers. A true original who takes no prisoners every time he plays, the Hot Rats have got the most pulverising original sound I've heard this year.....
The Hot Rats are a crazy little band from Kingsbridge, Devon with a taste for electric blues and roots music. They deliver their own fresh hard hitting sounds with big funky grooves and infectious walking bass lines, punctuated by Ben's soulful vocals and electrifying guitar leads. No matter where you come from, no matter what the weather The Hot Rats will get you up and dancing and going crazy to their infectious music.
The band is made up of three brothers; singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Carr, funky walking bass player Tom Carr and drummer and percussionist Jimbo Carr. Besides being a very powerful 3 piece the guys are often joined by guest musicians on sax, trumpet, harmonica or guitar.
This CD was produced by ace UK blues guitarist and vocalist Vince Lee, who also guests on several tracks!
