2024 is an important milestone in the Finnish narrative of Chicago Blues. It has been 110 years since the birth of Eddie Boyd (US), a blues legend who moved to Helsinki in the early 70s and continued to live here until his death three decades prior, in 1994. His historic album, Brotherhood, released by Finnish Blues Society under its own FBS label in 1975, has also reached a respectable age of half a century.

To pay tribute to the passing of time, as well as to a particularly significant role model, Pepe Ahlqvist, a senior statesman of Finnish Blues, has returned to the studio together with keyboard legend Jukka Gustavson and an ensemble of top Finnish musicians. The result, "Stovall, Coahoma: A Tribute To Eddie Boyd", features 10 songs from Boyd's repertoire, plus the newly written title song of the album.
