There’s no better way to experience the Gordon Bonham Blues Band than in a live setting. Notes From Underground was recorded during a live radio broadcast over WFHB Community Radio in Bloomington, Indiana. The album features songs by Little Walter, Magic Sam and T-Bone Walker, which have been staples of the guitar-and harmonica-driven GBBB for years, and also includes songs by Bonham and the band’s harmonica ace Tom Harold. David Murray and Jeff Chapin, titans of the Indy music scene, round out the rhythm section. If you want to take the GBBB home, Notes From Underground is a must-have!

These songs came together at home in my living room in Story, Indiana. Most of them were written on acoustic guitar or National Steel and then electrified. Country Blues on electric instruments was our starting point, but we couldn't help going "Uptown" at times. Crammed in a small room with tiny practice amps and a minimal drum kit, we would get a real "house party" sound on our practice tapes. We grew fond of these recordings and treated our studio sessions in the same way. All of the tracks we recorded basically "live" in two days with only a few added parts. The vocals were done on the third day. Using tube microphones and analogue tape at slow speed to get a fat, warm sound. We didn't try to copy the classics--we just like the way that the old stuff sounds! After deciding on a few cover tunes we couldn't live without, I brought in the "Kings of Rhythm" one evening for their treatment of Fleetwood Mac's "Watch Out" to round out the tracks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
