'"More often than not, Bullfrog Brown is associated with the alt.blues scene, but unless you define alt.blues by a distinct lack of 15-minute guitar solos, it is unlikely for this CD to be filed under that category. Almost every time I've talked to Steve, we've ended up discussing Muddy Waters, & I think that kinda says it - well, that & the fact that we did manage to resist putting out an umpteen-hundredth version of "Hoochie Coochie Man..." (excerpt from the liner notes)
Recorded in July 2008 and launched with a Finnish-Estonian tour in February 2009, this half live, half studio album teams Estonia's Bullfrog Brown and bassist Peeter Piik with veteran British harpist Steve Lury, mixing post-war Chicago and pre-war Delta blues influences in a way the Blues-Finland.com critic Auvo Laaksonen describes as "a real bullseye." Comes with in-depth liner notes and full lyrics.
'"Expert guitar playing by Andres Roots, elegant harmonica solos delivered by Steve Lury, topped with Alar Kriisa's wonderfully smoky voice. Many blues bands nowadays specialize in heavy handed riffs and rocky sounds. The more dribbling tunes, the better. Bullfrog Brown's trademark goes the other way. They keep it seemingly simple. 'Seemingly simple' means lowspoken, cleancut melodies that takes true skill to uphold, at least that's what I think. Too little and some spark would be missing. Too much and the introspective sensitivity would drown among overloud instruments. Bullfrog Brown has perfected this balance the same way the old blues masters did before modern times' rockmentality messed everything up." - Miranda Lindqvist'
"More real than the real thing."
René Malines, Virus de Blues
