Various Artists - All That Blues From Sweden! Vol. 1&2

Swedish blues lives, is vital, and is developing. Stylistically, the breadth is great - rhythm and blues, southern soul-spiced blues, boogie woogie, shuffles, juke joint blues, bittersweet slow blues, jump blues, traditional country blues, and even country blues at top speed with a punk attitude. Songs, tempos, and feelings which give rise to everything from partying on down with two more pints from the bar, to sitting in a corner with your tears diluting a tightly clenched glass of whiskey. As Jimi Hendrix once said, "The blues is easy to play, but hard to feel". /Excerpt from the liner notes for All That Blues From Sweden! Vol. 2

15. Jivin' At The Swamps (5:08)
16. I Want A Woman (3:00)

On this, their third album for the CeePeeVee Record label, them gentlemen in the band prove their affection for South Side and West Side Chicago Blues, reflected in the co-mingling of well known stuff like "The Same Thing" and "Stockyard Blues", with some selfpenned tunes in the same tradition. One can also note that on this new disc the Blues Down Town band goes somewhat further beyond their core style with thrilling performances of jump blues, various southern styles and swamp blues in the Louisiana tradition, all treated with feeling and respect.

The fabulous guests featured on this album, namely Per "Stockholm Slim" Notini on piano and Tommy "J.T." Holmström on tenor saxophone, strongly contribute to the outcome of the session. "Stockholm Slim" has been around since the early 60's and is perhaps best known for his piano work on singer/guitarist Magic Sam's groundbreaking album "West Side Soul", recorded in Chicago in 1967 and issued on the Delmark label. Slim has also toured and recorded with R&B stars like Nappy Brown and Ruth Brown to name a few. "J.T." Holmström is also a veteran on the music scene and has been blowing his horn in a number of the leading R&B and blues bands. It's a pleasure to have these guys performing on this new album!

The Blues Down Town story started in 1983 when Tomas Prim and Thomas Grahn founded the group in Stockholm, Sweden. The current lineup took shape in 1992 and the band has during the years developed and refined a distinct sound. With the main part of the material being selfpenned the band now takes another step in shaping their interpretation of the blues but with a close approach to the more traditional styles and styles and sound of the Chicago blues and southern/westcoast blues styles.

"Hell you guys really cook - Blues Down Town are the real thing, no half baked euro copiest but musos who love their music. Tasty guitar and great harp work. Thomas Grahn's harp is down south then soars up north." /Big Al Watts, 1998, Australia

16. Deep Down South (4:59)

This is their second album for the CeePeeVee label. Them cats play the deep blues and put their own brand on the material. On this new album you can enjoy some older songs and some new originals, all treated the Blues Down Town way. This is pure and straight from the heart.

"Consider the straight-from-the-50's sound of Evil Chaser, new from Blues Down Town. Lockwood-inspired guitars and dirty out-front harp outline the group's interests. The disc starts with the rumba bang of "As long as the World Go Round" and continues through Little Walter jumps, lightning boogies and low-down shuffles. The warped minor sounds of the title cut suggest a duel between Peter Green and Jodie Williams; George "Harmonica" Smith's "Teardrops Falling" is another stand out." /Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue, Oct 1999, USA
