With B.B. & The Blues Shacks from Hildesheim, Germany we have signed one of Europe's leading bands when it comes to traditional style, urban electric blues. Their first CrossCut album is pure fun.
The hot and spicey musical gumbo sounds very tasteful and entertaining, bringing you mostly originals. The source of their music is African-American music from the fifties. They dig Lousiana swamp blues, urban Chicago westside style, and r&b, alike.
The sound of the recording is superb, powerful and anything but slick. Jerry Hall flew in from Los Angeles. He was the man at the board.
The producing part was taken over by Marc Thijs of international fame. He was a member of the popular Electric Kings from Belgium, and has albums out under his own name.
B.B. & The Blues Shacks are a powerful and dynamic young band, playing more than 120 shows a year, all over Europe. If your not familiar with them, check them out! They are on top of Europe traditional blues league!

Reviews CCD 11070

Die 17 treibenden Großstadt-Blues auf dieser ersten Crosscut-Veröffentlichung der Band sind durchdrungen vom Geist des alten Blues, ohne altbacken zu klingen. 12 eigene Songs und 3 Coverversionen sind zwischen zwei Slim-Harpo-Clips eingebettet – und alles klingt wie eine Einheit. (…) Die vielen Fans der B.B.s werden vom Ergebnis nicht enttäuscht sein.

Die 17 Songs bieten alles, was die Blues-Küche der 40er und 50er Jahre berühmt gemacht hat (…) Es klingt wirklich, als würde Midnite Diner live im Musikclub serviert. “Guten Appetit” bleibt da nur zu sagen

B.B. & The Blues Shacks are a great little outfit from Germany, led by the guitar/harp duo, Michael and Andreas Arlt. They create an authentic sound, and have a knack of writing songs that sound familiar, even though you've heard them before. Well done guys, and we're sorry you

Siebte Platte der B.B.'s, gewohnte Qualität, wobei das Ganze sehr lässig und abgeklärt klingt … Musikalisch geht's quer durch den den R'n'B-Garten der Fünfziger, größtenteils Originaltitel, die sich eng an die Vorbilder anlehnen.(…) hervorragende Produktion (Mr. Tee!!), gewohnt voller Sound (Jerry Hall) … Klasse-Verpackung (von Crosscut haben wir nichts anderes erwartet)! Empfehlenswert.
