Just received a copy of the newest release cd by The Hamburg Blues Band. The recording has twelve tracks and a number of impressive names including Chris Farlowe, Clem Clemson and Maggie Bell. Immediately noticeable are great blues riffs from Clemson throughout.
Bells vocals on Free's "Wishing Well" are still strong bringing back recollections of Stone the Crows and solo efforts.
Into the night, an original song, has strong appeal with again nice guitar work by Clemson.
It Ain't Right and Trouble Man vocal harmonies put you in mind of Steely Dan if they played the blues. Nice guitar work again by Clem. Both of these songs demonstrate that Clemson hasn't been sitting around on his laurels.
Sing The Blues for You , an update on a BB King style song has a few tasty extended instrumental solos.
Overall this album is worth a good listen. These guys are workin it.
