Twelve tracks of raw, live-in-studio Chicago blues. A weathered and spontaneous return to roots defined by distorted harmonica and gritty, interlocking guitars.
December 1, 2016 · Rolling Stones Records
A thick, humid atmosphere of un-produced warmth rises from these twelve selections, captured in a lightning-fast three-day session that strips away decades of stadium-sized armor. The music moves with a heavy, late-night gravity, letting a snarling, distorted bullet-mic harmonica take center stage as the primary melodic voice over loose, swinging rhythms that prioritize feeling over perfection.
