If you are somewhat more intensively with the Hamburg blues band, so you will notice that they often longer need something, until a new sound is born of the world.
Good thing will have just while, and so far the wait was worth whatever, what was the group especially for the excellent live-album, with a real highlight of the sound produced, as well as the musical quality managed the band. Why so good old habits differ from? But with the current CD "Mad Dog Blues", there were really good reasons for the delay of release date….

A live studio electric Chicago Blues and beyond record by the very TOP NYC blues cats. It is as authentic and driving as blues ever gets. Turn up loud and enjoy! Brooklyn Blues is the culmination of a few blues musicians walking into a recording studio with their gear, plugging in and rolling tape. That of course, is an over-simplification of the recording process, but it’s all the listener really needs to concern themselves with. Big Apple Blues is not a homage, but a continuation to the ‘living record’ of the Chicago-style electric blues of mid-century Middle America. The sound of this record didn’t have to be manufactured, it emanated from the hands and lungs of the musicians performing the essential American art form.

This word is very commonly used in blues and rock and roll and was disseminated to worldwide. Erik Trauner quoted including muddy waters: I've got my Mojo working, but it just don't work on you.

One of the forgotten classics of the late-'60s American blues scene, the Colwell-Winfield Blues Band once opened for Led Zeppelin, and that would appear to be their greatest claim to fame - until you play the group's debut album, a hulking slab of blistered fusion that packs some of the most intriguing arrangements of the age. It features some of the most surreal imagery as well: "Paper bags hold degenerate dreams, fill my world with unnatural scenes," bellows the aptly named Moose Sorrento during the opening "Free Will Fantasy." And so the Colwell-Winfield Blues Band get on with proving what a lot of people had been saying all year long - that the best jazz-rock-blues band of 1968 was only getting better…
