Pontus Snibb - Wreck Of Blues (2014) [CD Rip]

Bonafide frontman, Pontus Snibb to release solo Blues Rock project. No one can ever say Pontus Snibb is laid back, if he’s not bouncing about Europe heading up Bonafide or skin thumping with Jason & the scorchers, we now see he’s managed to set aside time to write an record a new solo Blues Rock project, aptly named ‘Wreck of Blues’.

And what a stunning album it is, with some old school blues n swamp rock riff-age combined with a very modern rock production and Pontus’s signature voice, this effort has bits of Beck, Hendrix and ZZ Top all through it, Pontus Snibb’s take on it. “Well here it is another chapter in my musical career, but something I've been meaning to lay down for some time now. I've been into the whole Blues vibe since I was a kid and if I'm honest, it will probably be that sort of riff that will be getting played when I stop doing what I'm doing. When I finally got round to doing this, the tracks were the easy bit as I've had most of them in storage for some time, but as you know, I never stop writing. The musicianship was essential and after playing over 2000 shows with Håkan Nyberg (aka DAD) I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather have part of my rhythm section, he's taken care of the skins and the low end rumble comes from my bass soul mate, Micke Nilsson”.

The end result is pleasing as it really represents the passion I have for this genre, but as the great Albert King used to say....Blues Power...can you dig it?
