Eddie Kold is a German guitarist who has been a regular visitor to Chicago for over 30 years, played with Buddy Scott, Tyrone Davis and Vance Kelly and toured with LV Banks and Zora Young. Back home in Germany, Eddie has his own band but returned to Joyride Studios in Chicago to record this album. Eddie is on guitar and sings lead on four cuts, Larry Doc Watkins (originally from Virginia but now resident in Germany) is on vocals on most of the tracks, Lukas Diehl is on organ, Sven Ostrowski bass and Christian Wübben drums and all provide backing vocals.
Guests include guitarists Kenneth ‘Hollywood’ Scott (Buddy’s son) and Vance Kelly who play on two tracks each, sax player Rodney Brown who plays on two cuts, Dolores Scott who sings lead on one track and Ethel Reed who provides backing vocals on one. Miriam Frank (sax) and Markus Koch (trumpet) add horns to one track and Eddie’s daughter Millie Meckbach adds organ to two tracks. There are eleven originals, Eddie writing four, Larry one and the two combining on six, with three covers.
This is a labor of love from a man who is clearly a real fan of Chicago blues, soul and R&B and it’s a disc with some very good songs which is worth seeking out. /John Mitchel, Blues Blast Magazine
