The Veldman Brothers is a close band around Gerrit and Bennie Veldman. Gerrit on guitar, Bennie on hammond and blues harp, Marco Overkamp on drums and Donald van der Goes on bass. Four fine musicians with a wealth of experience influenced by their old heroes of yesteryear such as: The Vaughan Brothers, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. These gentlemen have now been together for 5 years, which is celebrated with the release of a great live release.
The album is very varied and consists of swing blues, delta blues and blues with a rock edge. The first 2 tracks are rocking and almost forces the listener to get out of the chair. The hammond and guitar splash violently and are of a very good level.
We encounter the rockie edge during the song 'Waitin' All Night'. Then the Willie Dixon song, however, in the manner of The Veldman Brothers. As one of the highlights we note the ode to old heroes in 'All Those People', beautiful guitar playing!
With the Ray Charles cover, track 5, it switches back to a swinging song.
Then the song 'This Pain' which could give many goosebumps. With the last 3 tracks, all covers, we get to hear a wonderful ending to this release.
An album that could become one of the top releases from Dutch soil. Assuming that the same energy and passion can be heard during the performances as on this CD, we can only recommend that you go and see this band live.
