Singer, songwriter and harmonica player Kurt Crandall began his career in Maine, a career that has led him to Virginia, Kansas City, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle. Back again in Virginia, he presents a new recording, where he makes evident his wide mastery in performing blues related styles such as jump, jive, swing and classic Chicago, Texas or Memphis blues, showing his quality both in the vocal resolution to attack and develop each song as well as in the way he blows both chromatic and diatonic harmonica, displaying a wide range of colors, a big fat tone, good resolution and creativity.

Deeply influenced by William Clarke, in this new recording Crandall presents ten varied cuts with deep influences of West Coast swing, jazz, rhumba and different Chicago grooves and shuffles. The album gathers two different sessions, in the first five songs he is backed by Karl Angerer on guitar, Aaron Blinder on drums, Rusty Farmer on double bass, Bill Heid on piano and the backing vocals of Jaisson Taylor and Lawrence Olds. In the other five cuts he is surrounded by Karl Angerer and Reid Doughten on guitars, Johnny Hott on drums, John Sheppard on electric bass, Clark Stern on piano and Carl Bender on sax.
