America-born blues artists Dov Hammer and Sagi "CG" Shorer first met in Tel Aviv in 1999. By then each had paid plenty of "blues dues", leading their own bands, grinding through the bar circuit, and backing visiting blues artists such as Billy Branch, Zora Young, Deitra Farr, Paul deLay, Lucky Peterson and King Earnest Baker. Since then, collaborating as "CG & The Hammer", they have played hundreds of shows in clubs, concert halls and international festivals. They have toured the USA three times, including representing Israel twice at the International Blues challenge in Memphis, TN.
"Something Good" is the band's fourth album. After more then a decade of playing blues in Israel, the band decided to return to the source, and made the pilgrimage to Memphis TN, where they recorded 12 new songs at the historic "Sun" studio. In this special atmosphere, recording where B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Elvis, Johnny Cash and others had made their great hits, the band tapped into the magical source of the music which has inspired them. The result is CG & The Hammer's best album to date, a unique melding of blues, rock 'n' roll and country, with the band's own original songwriting, passionate vocals, wailing harmonica and fiery guitar.
Personnel: Sagi Shorer (vocals, guitar); Dov Hammer (harmonica, backing vocals); Nir Elbaz (bass); Oren Avisar (drums).
