REVIEW
The skillful hands that play the instruments and the passionate voices that sing the messages of blues/rock music are found in all colors and cultures. It is truly an international form of musical expression. What began many years ago in the delta regions of the southern US and in many of its industrial uban cities in the north, has now spread to virtually every civilized corner of the world.
Our tour of great international blues/rock artists brings us today to Sweden, home of Clas Yngström and Sky High.
For over 20 years now, Yngström has been a true blues/rock giant throughout Scandinavia, as well as other parts of the world. His latest of many great recordings, "Bluester", may just deliver his finest work yet. This CD is loaded with the same kind or powerful guitar, solid vocals, and great supporting players that trademark every Sky High production. Their web site advertises that the band records 95% original material, and this recording is loaded with nine more excellent Clas Yngström offerings of the 14 total tracks.
I have so many favorites, but to mention just a few, try out the heavy blues of "Too Young Too Die", the hard rockin' "You Can't Break Me" and "Showblind", the great blues classic "I'll Play The Blues For You" (love those horns!), or the wah-wah drenched "Set On You". Whatever your particular taste in blues/rock music, you will find a heaping helping of it in this recording.
Pick up a copy of "Bluester" and discover what others already know: the name of Clas Yngström can be spoken legitimately in the same breath with the names of all of the world's greatest blues/rockers.
