Description
This is the new studio album by the Spikedrivers once again co-produced by the legendary Phill Brown. The current line-up of Ben Tyzack, Constance Redgrave and Maurice McElroy are celebrating their tenth year together and all that hard work pays off with this CD. A sublime collection of original songs and a stunning version of the classic 'John Henry'. Hard-driving, haunting and lyrical in turn, this album stays true to the blues and takes them in new directions. Great vocals, killer grooves and a real sense of adventure. If you've heard their previous albums then you know that they are not a band that sticks to the usual formats. They clearly love the sound of the Delta but they also explore all the facets of the blues while adding their own distinct style. 'Seven' shows all the influences they have gathered along the way and distills them into an album that flows from beginning to end. Starting with the gospel vocals and driving slide guitar of 'Baby Born' all the way through to the haunting instrumental reprise of 'Guided by Spirits' with more than a few surprises along the way. 'Seven' is already getting airplay on a number of UK and European blues programmes and will have excellent reviews in forthcoming editions of Blues Matters! and Maverick. In addition Blues Matters! will be publishing an interview with the band.
