After a half-dozen discs, and an intense and varied activity live, a career anthology collected by 20 Years on the Road, the Magna with Blues Band was swept by a wave of news and starts again, with renewed enthusiasm and a belief, just Down The Line. The new disc, available from Thursday 30 April via Appaloosa Records (www.appaloosarecords.it), born first of all by the recent transformation of Magna with Blues Band: around Maurizio "Cog" are also cooperating, guitarist, singer and founder and historical keyboardist Roger Mugnaini has consolidated two eclectic and fine musicians Paolo Legramandi on bass and vocals and factotum Caesar "Big C" Nolli that starting from battery, multiply on a wide variety of tools. With this training, and often simply as a duo with Cesare Nolli, Maurizio "Magna with" Cog began to experiment directly on the road, many of the most curious and intense solutions that emphasize the log change Down The Line ...

... If the roots blues and rock'n ' roll remain intact, as it could not be otherwise, Down The Line marks a turning point in the sound and remarkable interpretations of Magna with Blues Band: the production curated by Paolo Legramandi and Cesare Nolli chooses a different step out from the canons of traditional blues, leaving ample room for fine guitars by Cog, but at the same time gaining particular attention to songs. Eleven original songs, some written by Cesare Nolli and a good half written in collaboration with Edward Abbiati, leader of the Lowlands and protagonist of many record projects ranging without hesitation in tracking emotional landscapes and very intense, real up to memories of a London and teeming with searing music, that of the late 1970s, evoked in The Ghosts Of King Street. The only exception is the Ventilator Blues version of the Rolling Stones also played with Chuck Leavell, a pianist extraordinaire who always plays live with the Stones, but that in the curriculum boasts a myriad of collaborations, not least with the Allman Brothers Band. Chuck Leavell performs also in Room Enough, adding a touch of class in further Down The Line.
