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.”

The Elgins take a no-nonsense approach to the traditional Blues styles of the late 40's to mid 50's found in Chicago and Arkansas. We believe in using small tube amplifiers that produce the classic warm tones found on the legendary recordings of musicians such as Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Sunnyland Slim, Baby Face Leroy, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Louis Myers, Fred Below, John Brim, Snooky Pryor, Moody Jones, Both Sonny Boy Williamson's, Robert Nighthawk, and Eddie Taylor, etc. Although the members have many years experience, we are focused not on individual stand out performances but on the entire band working together to produce the ensemble sound of the era.
