Since 1991, a complete edition of all recordings in which Karlheinz Stockhausen has personally participated is being released on compact discs. Each CD in this series is identified by Stockhausen's signature followed by an encircled number. The numbers indicate the general historical order of the works. Stockhausen realised the electronic music and participated in these recordings as conductor, performer, sound projectionist, and musical director. He personally mixed down the recordings, mastered them for CDs, wrote the texts and drew the covers.
When you consider the numerous bands out there to listen to, you need to make a statement to have your first album heard. In the liner notes The Juke Hounds talk about an uplifting side of the blues. Maybe the happy blues doesn’t sound that good on paper to me, but blues is an uplifting music no matter how you play it. I do give these guys credit for trying something different on paper.The Hounds fought through the Cleveland Blues Society in 2010 to win a trip to the International Blues Competition in Memphis the following year. These guys have the competitive chops to take their mission to the next level……
