What began as a reunion album for Johnny Dyer and the L.A. Jukes became that and much more. In addition to having three original members of the formidable band of the late 70’s and early 80’s, this session also introduces fresh, new talent. Two of the featured musicians, who traveled from Norway to join this project, are some of the most exciting blues artists to emerge in decades. It took this international effort to recapture the soul of 40’s and 50’s post-war blues pioneers such as Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter, Baby Face Leroy, Sunnyland Slim, John Brim, Robert Nighthawk and Floyd Jones.
Small tube amps, vintage equipment and low tech arrangements help give these recordings the magical nuance that has vanished from so many contemporary blues tracks. With its reliance on restrained playing, in the pocket feel, leaving space and low volume dynamic phrasing, this album truly takes you “Back To Chicago.”
