Guitarist / songer Tony Hudpseth really lets go on this album. There are eleven tracks on the album ranging from full-on rock through feather-light funk to earthy blues. The album also features a wealth of guest artists, all masters of their own craft. Paul Harriman plays a brilliant bass, while the drums are shared by Joe Kirschgen and Bert Smaak, all adding up to the right groove and beat.

All this is complemented by perfect background work from Jens Ewald (keyboards/acoustic guitar), Jane Leinen (backings), as well as the funky “Tripple F Horns” Heiko Bidmon (sax), Mathias Knoop (trumpet) and Mathias Schuller (trombone). The perfect picture is rounded off by a guest appearance from “Supercharge” front man Albie Donnelly on saxophone on “Sunny Days”.

Praised by the German “Blues News” magazine in 2012 for the versatility of his first album on 9a music, Tony Hudspeth’s follow-up, “Stand Up”, again shows off a wide range of influences and talented musicians, all blended together into a successful mix of blues, rock, pop, funk, soul and country.

Sometimes the guitarist, singer and songwriter Hudspeth lets his Fender cry, then he skillfully brings in the Telecaster or even lets rip on the “Paula” .

The album begins traditionally with “Busload fulla Blues”, which could have come straight from an old John Mayall album, before continuing with the energetic “No Way Out”, a song that could easily come from ZZ Top. The third title, “Born To Carry On” is reminiscent of BB King … and so it goes with this album on – every title gets its own special note, but always at the centre is Tony Hudspeth’s virtuoso guitar playing.
