Kai Strauss: In My Prime (CD)
Kai Strauss has been a well-known name among European Blues lovers since the early nineties. Now, at the age of 50, the guitar player and singer releases his sixth album on the Dutch CRS label – aptly titled 'In My Prime'. Strauss is an experienced musician with a signature, grown up from the respect for his idols. He knows them, the pioneers: Guitar Slim, Luther Tucker, all three Kings, Otis Rush and Magic Sam. You can’t pin him on anyone, and yet they all live through his playing. Today Kai himself is a well-respected figure among guitar fans worldwide.
On 'In My Prime', a first-class band lights a fire of 70ies funky blues influences underneath Kai, and his featuring a horn section built around US saxophone virtuoso Sax Gordon is another example of his international importance. New original songs like 'Going To London' or 'In My Prime' speak to his ability to walk traditional paths in a creative manner.
Strauss understands that the music should always tell a story. Heartfelt vocals and plenty of tasteful guitar playing with punches of feelings and emotions shine through these 11 tracks about personal experiences ('Guest In The House Of The Blues'), current topics ('World Crisis Blues') and also the dark side of life ('Put That Bottle Down').
Maybe he is, as he says, in his prime with this album. But 'In My Prime' is definitely not simply a repetition of his previous work, but evidence of his musical and personal growth that will keep him as a meaningful and exciting blues artist in the future.

Kai Strauss zählt zum kleinen Kreis europäischer Bluesmusiker, denen auch amerikanische Kollegen und Kritiker einen authentischen Stil attestieren. Musikalisch aufgewachsen in Deutschlands Blueshochburg Osnabrück, tourte Strauss über 15 Jahre lang an der Seite des Texaners Memo Gonzalez und erspielte sich mit seiner Intensität einen festen Platz in den Herzen der Bluesgemeinde. „Schon als Teenager war ich von der Musik von Buddy Guy, B.B. King oder Jimmie Vaughan infiziert.“, sagt der Gitarrist und Sänger, der laut Aussage des Fachmagazins Bluesnews mittlerweile in der europäischen Szene als einer der großen Namen gilt.
Drei deutsche Blues Awards, 2016, 2015 und 2014, TV- Auftritte, Magazincover sowie Konzerte in über 20 Ländern sind bemerkenswerte Eckdaten in Strauss‘ Karriere. Guter Blues wird genährt durch persönliche Erfahrungen und Leidenschaft. Entscheidende Qualitäten von Kai Strauss, der seinem Instrument die Geschichten entlockt, die das Leben schreibt – egal ob live oder mit internationalen Gästen festgehalten auf der neuen und vom „Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik“ ausgezeichneten CD „Getting Personal“.
Mit seinem dritten Longplayer geht Strauss konsequent den Weg weiter, den er schon auf dem Vorgängeralbum „I Go By Feel“ eingeschlagen hat und stärkt sein Profil als moderner und zugleich puristischer Bluesmann. Es gibt Gitarre satt – vom dreckig, funkigen “The Blues Is Handmade” bis zum ausdrucksstarken Slow-Blues “Blues For Anne”, aber vor allem sind es die elf Eigenkompositionen von Strauss und seinen hochkarätigen Mitstreitern, die eine künstlerische Weiterentwicklung belegen und dem Albumtitel „Getting Personal“ seine Berechtigung geben.
