Nicely shot live in B&W including blistering performances by Doug MacLeod, Jo' Buddy, Sidekick Johnny and of course the superb harmonica of Helge Tallqvist.
We have been selling Helge's CD tribute to George Harmonica Smith for a while now and it's been really popular with our blues customers. Now, finally available is the DVD of a very special live concert featuring many of the same top musicians who played on the original CD. As an added bonus there's a guest spot by US bluesman Doug MacLeod.
Excellent!
Helge Tallqvist is a terrific amplified harp player and a master of the difficult chromatic harmonica. He has a huge tone and blows with passion and intensity. - Bad Dog Blues
'"Shockingly great stuff". Esa Kuloniemi/ Finland
" Really really fine harmonica, that shows a reel feel for tradition of the 50's. Good attention to tone, phrasing and attack. Plenty of enegy, lots of taste. Good inerplay with the band and strong band performance throughout. I'm quite impressed". Bruce Iglauer / USA Chicago
"I knew George pretty well personally as well as musically and I do believe this cd would make him very proud. Congratulation on a great job". Doug Macleod / Usa CA (guitar player in George's band in the 80's)'
