Daddy Batto & Jan Cisar are the hottest
blues act
to come out of the Czech Republic since the political change. Actually
born in Slovenia, Batto's versatility, incorporating fingerpicking,
bottleneck and virtual "electric" lead playing
on an acoustic or steel guitar, plus harmonica
and a rich, resonant vocal delivery make him
a force to be reckoned with anywhere blues music is played.
Jan Cisar's individual driving bass adds swing
and substance,
- the Riverside Blues Duo are one of the strongest
modern day European blues acts.
With recognition from important figures such as
Bruce Iglauer,
(Alligator Records, Chicago) "good blues by any standard"
and a debut CD coming out this year on Red Rose Records,
the Riverside Blues Duo are well worth the
entry price!! |
