European blues artists, particularly those from Scandinavia, are well and truly among the genre’s leading exponents these days and this band is on par with the best of them. For those of you not familiar with Håkon Høye, he's the axe-man, songwriter and producer for Billy T Band who won the Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) for best blues album in 2010 and 2012. The songs here reflect Håkon's different sources of inspiration - from Lightnin' Hopkins, New Orleans funk to down home blues to rock & soul. The omnipresent blues feeling is the backbone of these songs. Håkon has produced a wonderful recording that should end up on everyone's shelf.

Haakon Hoeye was born in Oslo Norway and was raised in the smalltown of Tynset where he grew up with a father playing the clarinet and accordion. At the age of nine he started out on saxophone and picked up the guitar in his early teens.
