Marcus Lazarus - How Low Can You Go? (2020)

Written in lockdown 2020, this album features a few collaborations with guys such as Matt Long (Catfish), Kev Hickman (Catfish), Riccardo Criscenti, John Southerden, Leon Van Egmond and Paul Winn.

This appear to be the 6th album from Marcus, who despite the convincing sounds on the CD, currently is based in Watford! That never stopped Elton John did it?

11 tracks, 10 of which are self-penned by Marcus and shared credits with drummer Kev Hickman for track 10.

This is a gem of an album with nothing superfluous, no filler, no needless extended solos, just good, well thought out and presented Blues and it makes me want to go and check them out whenever we get this cockeyed world back to some semblance of normality.

In the meantime, just pour yourself a beer, bung this CD in the slot and chill!!
