Al Cook, Pioneer and longest-serving legend of the Austrian Blues scene is celebrating 2014 his 50 years stage anniversary. A half century authentic Blues, without making the slightest concession to the contemporary taste in music.
On this CD he processes for example in music the life of Charley Patton, together with Tommy Johnsons alcohol problem and arouse their personality in self composed songs.
Al Cook is always himself and catches on with his strong voice power. Additionally as long Elvis Fan he attends to the universally known Big Boy Crudup composition “That’s Allright Mama” and moves them from the late 40ies directly to Mississippi of the early 30ies. Finally there are also songs which are dealing with archaic Barrelhouse-Piano and Hard Delta Blues. This CD is a must for fans, which are into the real Blues!
