The 2020 CD by Dieter Kropp with support from: Tommy Leino, Jimmy Reiter, Jaska Prepula and Mikko Peltola

Dieter himself says this about his CD (I am most interested in the song about thinning hair):

It is now my tenth album. Stylistically oriented on the blues originals of the forties and fifties of the last century. I have recorded, written and sung the whole thing in the last two and a half years - always with a lot of time between the respective studio days. We already started with the basic recordings in March 2018, with the Finnish Tomi Leino Trio and the Osnabrück guitarist Jimmy Reiter. The result was a mixture of classical and traditional blues, casual rock'n'roll and wonderfully relaxed Excello Records sound from Louisiana. Besides four instrumental numbers, the other eleven tracks are again combined with German lyrics about single agencies, flat tyres, burst candlelight dinners and shaking hair.

Dieter Kropp is one of the “most interesting, compact European harp players,” according to Thomas Ritter, the head of the Hamburg blues label Stumble. And Detlev Hoegen of Europe’s largest blues mail-order company CrossCut thinks: “Dieter Kropp’s tone reminds me of some of the great masters of the genre like the inspired and difficult Walter “Shakey” Horton. Or like Charlie Musselwhite, one of the technically most sophisticated players. Or, in terms of the pure, unplugged tone, of Rice Miller alias Sonny Boy Williamson II.“

Together with his Fabulous Barbecue Boys, Kropp has released several CDs. All of these have proved to be quite appealing, especially because of their tremendously attractive, stylish, and worthwhile appearance.

Together with his Fabulous Barbecue Boys, Kropp has released several CDs. All of these have proved to be quite appealing, especially because of their tremendously attractive, stylish, and worthwhile appearance. Now the multi-talented activist – who always grins roguishly on photos – is ready for blast-off again. Kropp recorded the new CD, which is truly worth listening to, with The Red Hot Blues Band, which is American harmonica virtuoso R.J. Mischo’s band. R.J. Mischo is also a guest performer here. Of the 13 songs on “Red Hot Cookin’,” 10 were written by Kropp himself and the band grooves like crazy. Jeremy Johnson is enormous inspired on the guitar and Dieter Kropp blows a tone fat enough to fall in love with.

Thematically, the band swings through the history of blues in a relaxed and easy way, as if they had been playing with Kropp for years. And the packaging: first-class work. The thick booklet provides extensive information about each of the musicians and Kropp personally tells the story of how the CD was made in an amusing, friendly manner. There’s no question: This album is nothing other than pure fun for the ears and the eyes. Congratulations!
