VOODOO RAMBLE - Made in the UK (Live) (2026)

On side 2 of Savoy Brown’s A Step Further, the singer announces – this is the boogie the Savoy Brown Boogie, and then they launch into a full album side of a live cut of blues boogie. Well, THIS is the boogie, the Voodoo Ramble Boogie, and they launch into an eleven track live blues boogie set with a little southern rock thrown in for seasoning on this album .Made In The UK

If you are a disciple of the blues, look no further this week for some new music to penetrate your ears, this is all you want and more. Recorded live at the Media Department of Weston Super Mare college, this really does capture the live vibe the band exude, a la Live And Dangerous or Get Your Ya Ya’s Out.

The band is led by Boris Zamba, a Croatian blues guitarist extraordinaire, with a voice to match, with the rest of the band being – Iain Ecclestone – guitar, Ed Gerlach – bass, Josh Armitage – drums, Hannah Bartlett – bv’s and Felicity Dickson Boarman – bv’s.

Of the eleven songs, four are co writes with our very own Pete Feenstra, who really does write some amazing lyrics and collaborates with many people.

One of the four co writes has got to have one of the best titles ever – ‘Too Bad For Heaven Too Good For Hell’, which just beckons and invites you to listen to the song. The other three co writes are – ‘Midnight Ride’, ‘Midnight Train’, and ‘The Smell Of Money’, which all mixed together could be about the Great Train Robbery, but they are not, they are three slices of the best blues cake, with a little cream topping.

Actually, ‘Midnight Ride’ is one of the more southern rock tinged songs on the album along with ‘Little Blues.Queen’. The six other songs, written by Boris Zamba, are about women, good and bad, and hard living taking a toll. Well you don’t want songs about photographic oceans on an album like this do you.

The whole project was coordinated by Oz Cahill, who kick started the album by contacting Boris for a live performance and possible live album, and this is the end result of his hard work.

The album follows hot on the heels of four previous highly acclaimed albums – That’s Why, Can’t Write A Pop Song (When You’ve Got The Blues), Home Again and In The Heart Of The City

This album is must for fans of Gary Moore, early ZZ Top and BB King, it just is as near to perfect a Blues album as you could ask for.
