Art Tipaldi about Latvian Blues Band

CD "Unreal" review

I thought it was a real good blues CD after I played it. When I replayed it to refresh my ears, I was still very impressed... having Duke [Robillard] produced it lifts the quality of the music to a very professional level. Personally I love the many styles the band can play from deep blues on "Evil" to finger snappin' shuffles.

The vocals are very strong as is the guitar work especially on "Let The Door Hit You" and "No More Doggin'", which sound very much like an early John Mooney. Also great, competent songwriting which reflects the various blues styles that the band plays well... again, Duke's production highlights the bands strengths.
