Thirty years ago, still in the full bloom innocence, I walked into a little club in Dallas, Texas, and had the top of my head blown off by a bluesman with firepower to burn. The kid’s name was John Lee Sanders, and now the kid’s a man, and the man, steeped in the towering tradition of deep-fried funk, is offering up his Bucket Full of Blues. The bucket is overflowing with creative gifts The bluesman has reached full maturity, and that promise of youth, heard so long ago, has been realized.

“I’ve never claimed to be something I’m not,” he writes in “Handful. “I’ve got my flaws, but my heart is good.” His music, his singing, his aesthetic vision are more than good; they’re flat-out great. At this troubling moment in the history of the Music Nation, John Lee Sanders stands tall. He’s major. In his own words, he’s hitched a ride from Memphis, dealing with the ghosts of Highway 61, arriving in New Orleans in order to comfort us with the good news: that true music is truer than ever. His songs, full-bodied and blood-washed, are rooted in reality. He reminds us that blues are concerned with neither nostalgia nor self-pity. John Lee Sanders’ blues are about nothing less a renewal of strength, a resurrection of the human spirit, a projection of hard-earned hope and a declaration of extravagant love. ~David Ritz

Performed with Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Freddie King, Dr. John, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Page, Tower of Power, Starship, and many blues, jazz and pop legends. “One of the hottest bluesmen on the circuit” ~Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Fest".

[2:26] 9. The River Knows Your Name (Reprise) [feat. Robert Dachel Hirmer]

Rad Gumbo - the soulfood stew from Louisiana - is known as hot & spicy.That is the music of the band of vocalist and accordeon player Dackel Hirmer with the same name. A boiling mixture of Zydeco-Blues and New Orleans Soul. After a very successful European tour with John Lee Sanders, RAD GUMBO recorded the CD “Gumbo Stomp”, which was released in April 2014.

Frontman Dackl Hirmer has an extroadinary voice - from growling tones to high falcette - this guy knows all registers from the style of Dr. John, Joe Cocker to John Lee Hooker. This soulful shouter out of the swamps of Vohburg/Bavaria could sit in with his accordeon at any club in Louisiana and nobody would get the thought that this musician comes from the south of Bavaria. Likewise many blues artists from Louisiana he also doesn't like leaving his home territory - a Bavarian bound highly recommended musician who will now show his talents on that upcoming tour all over Europe.
