Stuart Maxwell’s Blues Raiders delivers hard-edged blues that is rooted in tradition, but is still rocking and funky. It swings, it shuffles, it gets feet tapping. Until you’re out of your seat and dancing.
As well as harmonica ace Stuart Maxwell (Mick Ralphs, Storm Warning, The Shufflepack), you have Matt Edwards on guitar (Alice Armstrong, Matt Edwards Band), Derek White on bass (Larry Miller, Bernie Marsden, Storm Warning, Cinelli Brothers) and Jason Reeve on drums (John Etheridge, Art Themen, Denny Ilett, BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music).
You’ll hear Muddy, Wolf and Junior Wells, alongside John Mayall, The Allman Brothers and Graham Bond, as well as plenty of original songs in the classic Chicago style.
But when you grew up listening to Black Sabbath, Miles Davis, Jethro Tull, Hawkwind, The Meters and Sonny Boy Williamson, weird things are going to happen. And not before time.
