No doubt about it, even white boys can play the blues. The Ides of May do it all the way from the eastern part of Holland, live sober but honest and straight forward. They honour the great classical blues players of whom they have several on their live repertoire.

The Ides of May include an uncompromised style and directness in their blues. Their collective experience on this recording, and the band's progression takes a step further here. At hand, is a well balanced album that comes from a love for the music and recreates the energy and emotion seen at their live performances. The material is mostly original, and well supported by a tight unit (such as only comes from years of playing together). If you are into a tough, electrified blues style, then this one is for you. The originals (which represent most of the songs) on this CD are gems, and were culled from a list of over 40 self-penned songs.
