Bb And The Blues Shacks - Dirty Thirty

BB And The Blues Shacks

Death Tax Rambling Kind Three Handed Woman I Run For You Moonshine Blues Not The One For Me It Takes Time Do To Me By The Way Crime Time Ain't Gonna Cry No More One More Drink Sweet Temptation Blues Oh Little Girl You Better Don't Wanna Know Hear My Baby Naggin'

From the organ shuffle-based opener "Death Tax" to the closer "Hear My Baby Naggin'", Dirty Thirty travels the back roads of the Golden age of American R & B paying homage to Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis and West Coast Blues traditions. I can tell you these guys have come along way since their 1st gigs in '89. We first met in '96 on a night I was playing my 1st club gig in Germany at Bischofsmühle in Hildesheim. These guys gladly helped us out with some much better amps than the crappy backline we had with us. After sound check they treated us to dinner at a good Chinese restaurant. I will never forget the menu advertising a buffet as "Eat Yourself" 10 marks. (We knew it was just a twist on "All you can Eat"). I remember being pleasantly surprised by the choice of music playing in their van in route to the restaurant. It was one of my mentors, Lynwood Slim's great album Lost in America with Junior Watson. I thought this was rare for these guys to be listening to this album and I knew right then these guys are real Blues freaks and that we would hit it off. Later at the show I insisted these German Kids join us on stage for a couple songs. After I heard them play, I just smiled and said," Oh Sh*t.... Look Out!". BB and the Blues Shacks have accumulated a treasure chest of road & musical experience with constant touring. The core of the Arlt Brothers and Henning have been playing together so long they know exactly what the other is going to do &; play, and I'm sure at this point they can read each other's minds. Add the excellent musicianship of Fabian Fritz on Organ & Piano and drummer Andre Werkmeister and together they create a musical congealing element that rarely exists in bands today.
