El Fish & Roland - Waterbottle (2001) [CD Rip]

El Fish was a legendary Belgian blues band. They consisted of Steven De Bruyn (bluesharp), Jan Ieven (bass), Rohal De Ridder (drums), Filip Casteels (guitars, vocals) and Toon Derisson (drums). The group disbanded after the 2001 album Waterbottle featuring legendary blues guitarist Roland van Campenhout. They have played a reunion concert in the AB in Brussels on the first of October 2011.

In 2001, the ideal replacement for Filip Casteels was found in the form of the living blueslegend Roland van Campenhout. With Roland, the remaining members El Fish started touring with a varied (and somewhat inconsistant) programme that was premiered in the AB in Brussels on February 9. It quickly became clear that there would also be an echo of these shows on CD, and this became true in June with the album "Waterbottle". This cd was put on tape almost in a live-situation, with just four recording days and a resulting raw sound with the slogan "Do You Rock from the Botttom, Or do you play it from your head?". That El Fish wasn't going to give on in the adventure-department was proven by the cover of "Libertango - I've seen that face before" (as known from Grace Jones).
