“BLUES WORLDWIDE” - THE NEW 15 TRACK ALL ORIGINAL ALBUM FROM BLUES MUSIC AWARD WINNER GILES ROBSON

Decades long commitment, respect and focus towards the art of blues music has seen multi award winning, internationally recognised Blues harmonica virtuoso, singer and masterful showman Giles Robson have a dream musical career. 

His new beautifully recorded 15 track album of all original material “Blues Worldwide” is a collection of masterful blues recorded across the world - Clarksdale Mississippi USA, Prague Czech Republic and across the continent of France from Nantes to Toulouse.

It features some of the international blues scene’s greatest musicians. Franck Goldwasser, a Paris born guitar prodigy created an acclaimed decades long career collaborating in the USA with some of the most notable names in blues from James Cotton, Jimmy McCracklin to Curtis Salgado and Charlie Musselwhite and was part of the award winning Mannish Boys. The tracks with Franck Goldwasser have the added bonus of the France’s GO-TO rhythm section of Pascal Delmas on drums and Mig Toquereau on bass.

Leading French pianist Philippe LeJeune was so admired by one of the greatest blues icons Memphis Slim, that Slim insisted on recording an album with him “Dialog In Boogie” in which LeJeune shared star billing. He has gone on to have a long and storied career headlining the leading festivals across the continent and releasing a steady stream of great albums. 

America’s own virtuoso blues guitarist Johnny Burgin started his career in the neighbourhood blues joints on Chicago’s West Side with Howlin’ Wolf disciple Tail Dragger, and went on to tour and record with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay and Billy Boy Arnold. 

USA Piano maestro Bruce Katz, a Blues music Award Winner, is one of the world’s GREATEST virtuosos of the piano and B3 Organ. The keyboard artist of choice for the Allman Brothers Band members Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks, blues legends Delbert McClinton and John Hammond Jr and many, many more. 

The Checked Shirts band From Nantes France are highly accomplished new and fresh to the scene. Robson witnessed their show and jammed with them at a Festival on the French just outside of the French city of Nantes where they call home. He knew instantly from their mastery of groove and feel that he had to record with them.

Timeless original blues with deep feeling recorded across the world, a gift for all true blues fans from wherever they hail from.
