It is not without reason that the Boogie Boys are considered one of Poland's best blues exports. This is probably the native blues group that performs most often across the pond, and they perform equally well in the studio and live. Most importantly, as one of the few, constantly developing and enriching its repertoire.

Observing the concerts of the Boogie Boys, a technically super-efficient music machine, one may come to the conclusion that no more can be gained from the topic of boogie. The third album, titled "Made in Cali", proves that the musicians still have a lot to say. Recorded and produced in California, it sounds incomparably better than most Polish blues releases.

This is hardly surprising - the producer of the album is the renowned American harmonica player John Clifton (The Mofo Party Band), known for his cooperation with artists such as Rod Piazza, James Harman and Johny Dyer. His great-sounding harmonica can probably also be heard in recordings. Also featured is guitarist Ron Thopmson who has performed with John Lee Hooker, Etta James and Mick Fleetwood among others, and he plays wonderful, swinging phrases in many songs, so characteristic of Californian jump-blues.

The album "Made in Cali" was recorded in California and sounds like a real Californian album. Moreover, it will rub the noses of many malcontents who thought that the Boogie Boys band had already said everything in the rigid boogie formula. Well, no, and the diversity of both the arrangement and style of the songs on the latest album is proof of this.
