Four years of hard work went into this project: Jimmy Reiter’s second album and the successor to his award-winning debut. "Told You So" features the current band on all tracks. This quartet is augmented by long-time friends and musical colleagues Kai Strauss (guitar) and Boston saxophone virtuoso Sax Gordon. Of the twelve tracks on this disc, nine are original compositions written or co-written by Jimmy. “Told You So” is musically varied, yet all stays within the Blues genre … sometimes more firmly anchored in the world of Chicago Blues. Excellent modern blues from a real expert and a great band that you will want to check out.
Nine years after ‘The Lily’, Canadian blues singer Layla Zoe and guitarist Henrik Freischlader have reunited and recorded a new studio album together at Megaphon Recording Studio in Arnsberg: The World Could Change. Twelve new songs form the solid sound framework for the powerful and energetic voice of this exceptional singer, who not only inspires with authentic blues rock on her new album, but also with soulful and tender ballads. Freischlader’s guitar provides goosebumps and cozy warmth with its unmistakable sound, the inspired Hammond organ by Moritz “Mr. Mo” Fuhrhop gives the very last touch. An album to be heard and felt!
"The Lily" is Layla Zoe's sixth album.. She easily handles both, tradtional-style gospel music, and hard driving blues. Accompanied by producer, guitar, bass player, drummer and co-writer, Henrik Freischlader, Layla's taking you on trip from deep moving songs to powerful rockers. Excellent release featuring a promising singer/songwriter with strong blues roots. Canadian blues singer Layla Zoe offers a highly personal take on the blues. She’s a confident singer with an expansive range, who finds the perfect foil in the shape of German blues guitarist and multi instrumentalist Henrik Freischlader.
