A popular blues band in Germany,
Blues Company is a solid outfit that wouldn't be out of place in the States. Since 1977 they've backed U.S. bluesmen
Billy Boy Arnold,
James Booker, Eddie (Cleanhead) Vinson and others for European dates. The band, which includes a German rhythm section and a Caribbean guitarist, was founded by Yugoslavian guitarist/singer Todor (Toscho) Todorovic. This album, the band's 14th, opens on a somber note with "Red Blood," a song that incorporates a Bosnian folk theme and illustrates that Americans don't have a monopoly on the blues.
