B.B. & The Blues Shacks Lonesome In The Moonlight (LP)

(Rhythm Bomb) 12 tracks

Europe's top blues band returns 34 years after its foundation with another top-class studio album. CD in three-part digisleeve and limited LP on Rhythm Bomb.

Around 4,000 live performances worldwide, multiple winners of the German Blues Award, German Record Critics' Prize, 17 albums, named "best band" or "artist of the year" not only by German but also British and French media, shows in more than 20 countries - the Hildesheim quintet led by brothers Michael and Andreas Arlt has achieved incredible things. After "Breaking Point" (2021), the quintet with the stunningly lively vintage cocktail of blues, rhythm & blues and soul will not be asked for long: of the 14 brand new numbers, seven are amazingly confident original compositions, and Ray Charles, Chick Morris, B.B. King, Albert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Johnnie Taylor and Linda Ronstedt are also put in the spotlight in great new interpretations. Furious brass players, complemented by Tom Müller and Simon Hartl, put the icing on the cake of this emotional and stylish tour through the golden age of US entertainment music. This world-class troupe shakes insane solos and fantastic grooving rhythms out of their shirtsleeves as if in passing. Europe's most successful blues band is once again impressively in pole position!
