B.B. & The Blues Shacks Dirty Thirty - 30 Years Of Blues Since 1989 (CD)

(Rhythm Bomb Records) 16 tracks, digisleeve incl. booklet

The band led by brothers Michael and Andreas Arlt played their first show in 1989. Since then, not only have 30 years passed, over 3,000 concerts have been played worldwide, the quintet has also released twelve studio albums and won the German Record Critics' Award as well as other awards. There is probably no other German blues band that has remained so active throughout the years. After their last successful studio album "Reservation Blues" (2017) and the second album with singer Bonita Niessen, "Sweet Thing" (2019), the musicians are celebrating their anniversary with this album, on which they revive their origins and the tradition of US blues around the hotspots of Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis and the West Coast.

From the opener "Death Tax" to "Hear My Baby Naggin'", the golden era of the genre is revived in the 16 original compositions. The remastered bonus albums "Come Along" (2012) and "Businessmen" (2014) contain the bonus songs "She Moves Me" and "Deep In The Heart Of Texas". Blues tip!
