BLUES ADDICTS-BLUES ADDICTS-

As a unkown journeyman band from denmark, this album perhaps lack the intensity and consistancy to be knowned as a long lost Classic but this is truly an obscure Diamond in the rough. Released in 1970 this is all in all a private affair with some great fuzzy guitars and great vocals.

The benefit of not giving in to cover versions but stick to original songs must be counted as an extra enefit to this album. The Sharp edge to recognize this album as a proto/hard rock album more towards a blues based rock album is really thin. The superb jams and great rock riff on the guitar will leave an impression on you and perhaps this will put Blues Addicts in the same category as Blue Cheer or maybe even Cream in their most out spaced  out songs.

Whatabout the drummer, Henning Aasbjerg??? This drummer certainly knows how to beat thedrums in a great way. Dynamics and striking abilities are very good. And the drive is there though the poor sound mixing quality reveal some gretness in the hitratio and technical departments. This is a good drummer that has found his Place within the band. A very good job!

And should you get this album? Well if you´re in for the blues and not for this Psych/Hard/Blues rock interpretation this is nothing for you. This is more a a psychadelic form of great jamsessions and Psych form of the blues. But this is a good album so why not give this one  a try if you dig the Jimi Hendrix era of great guitar work and sound experimenting. I dig it.. 🙂
