Born in Cabinda (Angola) on August 7, 1957, Nuno Mindelis became a guitar enthusiast at the very young age of 5 and by the age of 9 he began building and playing self-made guitars. A primary influence at that time was Otis Redding and his great rhythm section Booker T. & The MG’s - made up of Booker T., Steve Cropper, Donald “Duck” Dunn, and Al Jackson. Nuno continues to enjoy the work of these musicians to this day. Because of a civil war, which made Nuno lose everything he had, he was forced to leave his country as an exiled at the age of seventeen. He joined an older cousin in Canada and remained there for about a year, jamming where possible and increasing his guitar knowledge. In 1976, following a year of separation from his family, he decided to rejoin them in their newfound home of Brazil.
Nothing eventful happened until 1990, when an independent recording he had made there began to receive airplay on local radio stations. In 1991 he was invited to record his debut solo album, “Blues & Derivados”, which received very positive reviews in Brazilian media. He recorded his second solo album, “Long Distance Blues”, for Movieplay Records joined by Larry McCray and French harp player J.J. Milteau, considered as the best Harp Player in France and one of the most important in Europe. The album received rave reviews from Brazilian media, and as part of his promotional tour for the album Nuno was fortunate to gain a spot in a blues festival in Sao Paulo featuring Robert Cray, Otis Clay, Ronnie Earl, Lonnie Brooks, and Bo Diddley.

Thank you Red Rooster, I find it strange so many download yet say nothing. Would somebody care to play track 06 and give an opinion, seems it's corrupt, just like every other source I've downloaded from. The FLAC is just the same too no matter where I get it from. Maybe the mp3 copy is from the FLAC anyway.
@Frankie
Same album, different name and track order.
Nuno Mindelis - Nuno Mindelis & The Cream Crackers (1998 CD Rip)

Thank you, sorted.
Thanks for the notification Frankie, the links have now been updated for an ok copy. Knowing there were some corrupt copies around, I skipped through the tracks when listening before posting but obviously I missed that track 6 was corrupt (after approx 2 minutes 10 seconds). My bad, and I appologize to all who have downloaded the previous copy. Please download again. And as Bluestender mentioned, the songs are the same as on the one credited to Nuno Mindelis & The Cream Crackers even though the track order differs between the two releases.
