Blues ‘N’ Trouble - 3 albums: First Trouble-No Minor Keys / Blues Graffiti-The Hat Trick Era / Try Anything Twice

Led by top UK Blues singer and harmonica player Tim Elliott, award winning British Blues band Blues 'n' Trouble have forged an international reputation over almost 30 years as a hard driving, good time Blues and Boogie outfit. Now sporting a retooled and rejuvenated line-up incorporating Tim Elliott (vocals/harmonica), Sandy Tweeddale (guitar/vocals), Angus Rose (keyboards/guitar), Rod Kennard (bass) and Andrew Samson (drums), Blues 'n’ Trouble are heading for 30th anniversary celebrations with the fire and swagger for which this top British blues band has always been renowned.

Formed by singer and harmonica player Tim Elliott, influenced by Canned Heat and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band as well as older artists such as Sonny Boy Williamson and Jimmy Reed, Blues ‘n’ Trouble went through numerous personnel changes while building a loyal following in the pubs and clubs of central Scotland.

Note: Posted are 2 two-fers (which include bonus tracks) and a single album for a total of 5 albums!
