Europe's top blues band returns 34 years after its founding with another top-notch studio album. Limited LP on Rhythm Bomb. Some 4000 live acts worldwide, multiple winners of the German Blues Award, winner of the Deutsche Schallplattenkritik, 17 albums, voted best band or artist of the year not only by German but also British and French media, shows in more than 20 countries - the Hildesheim quintet around brothers Michael and Andreas Arlt has achieved incredible things. After Breaking Point (2021), the quintet with its stunningly lively vintage cocktail of blues, rhythm & blues and soul did not need much asking: of the 14 brand-new numbers, seven are amazingly confident original compositions. In addition, Ray Charles, Chick Morris, B.B. King, Albert King, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnnie Taylor and Linda Ronstedt are put into the spotlight in wonderful new interpretations. The magnificent brass players Tom Müller and Simon Hartl put the icing on the cake of this emotional and stylish round trip through the golden age of US light music. Insane solos and fantastically grooving rhythms seem to be pulled from a hat by this world-class troupe. Europe's most successful blues band once again impressively puts itself in pole position!
