“If you’re uneasy about the future of the blues, you’ll find hope in Nick Moss.”
—Guitar One Magazine
Fans of Chicago Blues torchbearer Nick Moss will be thrilled with this long-awaited and eagerly-anticipated live release. The 76-minute set showcases Moss’ strengths as bandleader, musician, and songwriter, as he and his “top-shelf Flip Top combo” burn through their celebrated originals as well as some choice, time-tested (but not overdone) covers. It’s true ensemble playing at its finest. The evening is made extra special by the guest appearance of Moss’ friend and fellow musician Monster Mike Welch, who lends his own style of guitar virtuosity to three tracks.
Nick shares the story of how the recording came about in the CD’s liner notes:
Well, here it is, a “live” CD! Many fans have asked me to put one out over the last few years. Everything came together with the help of some blues fans from the East Coast: Bob McLaren and Roy Souza. They had seen my band on many occasions at different venues (Buddy Guy’s, the Chicago Blues Festival, and at the Handy Awards in Memphis, among others) and were a few of the many who had expressed their interest in a live CD.
