Oldschool Chicago blues & soul album, produced and arranged by Ori Naftaly. The album was recorded on four dates, of 4-5 hours. Recorded live and mixed at LUNA Studios, the album reflects the power, soul, feel and energy that are present every time Ori Naftaly and his band come together on stage for a blues & soul concert. The album features a group of guests from London, Chicago, Colorado and Israel who lead the Israeli blues scene today.

"When I realized it was the right time to begin this production, I decided to produce an album that would bring me back to who I am and where I came from. Since I was a child I would listen and play along with old Blues records from the collection we had at home, and it became the sound of my childhood. Since then I grew into different music genres, but with this album I went back to the blues.

I am blessed to have great musicians who played with me in this project, my band and singers. They all inspire me to continue what I'm doing. It was important for me to record the songs live, with hardly any overdubing, so we could create a more dynamic and geniune sound. Basically as close as we could get to the old Muddy Waters albums I used to listen to. It is a combination of the 2012 sound, and songs from the 1920's and the 1960's." /Ori Naftaly

The Ori Naftaly Band began playing in November 2011 and after a year's performing and touring all over Israel, they flew to the Netherlands in Sept. 2012 for a three-week tour.

On their return home, they participated in and won the Israeli Blues Competition, which granted their participation in the IBC at Memphis, Tennessee. Two months later the band flew to Memphis and represented Israel among 200 other bands from all over the world. The Ori Naftaly Band is the first Israeli band to have been voted into the IBC Semi-Finals, and was the band which sold the largest number of CDs at the Memphis competition. After completing the competition the band flew to Chicago for a short tour and performed at several local, historic and well-known blues venues.

Immediately after returning home from their first U.S. tour, the band wasted no time and got right back into the studio. They began recording their second album "Happy for Good" which contains exclusively original material, all written and composed by Naftaly and Tsaig. Recording and production continued for a month and a half, and with the album's release, they flew to the USA for their second tour. During this six-week journey

The Ori Naftaly Band had 14 performances, including the historic Levitt Shell in Memphis (where Elvis Presley gave his first paid concert in 1954) and the Winchester Blues Festival. This tour has immensely expanded the band's exposure and American fan base.

On their way home the band has stopped off for another short run in the Netherlands in August of 2013. They are currently in the throes of booking their upcoming USA Fall Tour as well as writing and composing new materials for their upcoming album, due to be released in 2014.

Ori Naftaly: Guitars; Eleanor Tsaig: Vocals; Eran Szendri: Bass Guitar; Yam Regev: Drums; Niv Hovav: Hammond; Ofir Ventura: Harmonica.
