For 20 years Mitch Woods
has made quite a name on
the blues/jump scene,
releasing numerous albums.
He also worked with
legends such as John Lee
Hooker and Earl King to
name but two.. His
touring led him to Europe
where he stopped in
Barcelona, Spain. There
he met one of the finest
gang of blues and jump
musicians : The Lazy
Jumpers.Together they
recorded these fine piece
of, you guess it, jumpin'
blues, boogie woogie and
juicy rhythm and blues.
Half of the 12 songs are
Woods'originals, but if
the credits weren't
written, you'd swear
these are covers as they
perfectly go with the
rest of the material. The
general inspiration goes
from Louis Jordan to
Jimmy Liggins, but you
also find a straight
blues number with
Hooker's Boom Boom (not
very original idea of
cover, but well played so...
enjoy), a bit of
rock'n'roll (the Little
Richard inspired "Swell
Lookin' Babe") and
on the jazz side a solid
six minute version Mose
Allison's Parchman Farm.
Another nice addition to
El Toro Rhythm &
Blues serie and one more
evidence of the Lazy
Jumpers' talent.
