Sensational comeback by Denmark’s oldest blues band at the 2008 Copenhagen Blues Festival. A keystone of the Danish blues scene in the 1960’s, Delta Blues Band reshaped with extreme commercial success as Delta Cross Band in the 1980’s.

In 2008 most of the original members decided to get together for a 40th anniversary reunion at the Copenhagen Blues Festival. Back in the ‘60s they called themselves The Delta Blues & Boogie Band. Todays lineup still have Troels Jensen fronting the band with Thomas Puggaard-Müller on the side on his guitar like back in 67. Knut Henriksen is a newcomer on bass, but has during the years been a member of the band playing guitar and also Jørgen Lang – who often joined Delta Blues Band on stage in the past – is now a fullfledged member of the group. The latest addition to the band is the very skilled and widely traveled drummer Asmus Jensen. ---deltabluesband.com

A pretty entertaining album by this Danish band. Delta Blues Band released just this one LP back in 1969 and nowadays the original pressing is a very rare and valuable collector's item. Usually you need to pay a few hundred euros if you want it to your record collection.

The material found here is mostly blues rock but there are clear influences from psychedelic rock as well. The lengthy album closer "Opus 4" is the most obvious example about the psychedelia found on this record and it's my personal favourite here. The shorter songs are more blues rock oriented and most of them are pretty nice as well. Nothing groundbreaking but quite enjoyable.

And that's the case with the whole album. This is nothing very special but if you know you like blues rock mixed with some psychedelia you might wanna give this one a try. But don't expect too much. ---CooperBolan, rateyourmusic.com
