Eric Street Band - Shades of Blue (2014)

This album is number 7 from ESB since 2008. The band has had many great reviews over the years, and the 'Company Man' album was voted best album by Blues in Britain. The band has also had various songs in internet charts in the USA and in the UK. The new album, as the title says, is shades of the blues, with a very strong rock element and various other forms of music.

All songs were written by the band with the exception of one track, 'Stormy Monday Blues'. This song was, in a way, a tribute to my one all-time favourite singer that passed this year - Bobby Bland. Bobby recorded this song way back - to me the best version of this T-Bone Walker classic. The album took over a year to record, and we wrote a number of songs that never made the album.
