H.P. Lange <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HP<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, he\u2019s done it again. Proved that he is a master of fingerpicking blues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last six years he has focused on playing with and developing his band, \u201cH.P. Lange And Big Gumbo\u201d but he has been giving solo concerts as well. With this new album he wants to show the world how he sounds when alone on stage. And it does sounds just great. Here he gets the possibility to demonstrate his finger picking skills. This is world class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only one new song on the album, \u201cI Drink When I\u2019m Dry\u201d reflecting the unusual state the world has encountered the past 1,5 years. It\u2019s a 12-bar blues but in D and it\u2019s miles away from the ordinary 12 bar shuffle plowing. My guess is that this will be a new staple song for many pickers. Most of the songs he has released with band but there are two numbers he hasn\u2019t recorded before, \u201cHesitation Blues\u201d and Charlie Poole\u2019s \u201cMilwaukee Blues\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He makes a most personal interpretation of \u201cHesitation Blues\u201d, but comes out good.  \u201cMilwaukee Blues\u201d he plays inspiring and beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years Lange has got a growing interest in \u201cOld Timey\u201d music. Here that genre is represented by \u201cDarling Corey\u201d and \u201cCluck Old Hen\u201d, both banjo numbers. In \u201cDarling Corey\u201d Lange creates a meditative groove that brings Hill Country Blues to mind. \u201cCluck Old Hen\u201d is a fun text primarily made for barn dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the album contains \u201cLange standards\u201d but with the difference of him playing alone giving them a whole new dimension, with intense finger picking backing up his lonely voice. The songs are, \u201cTravelling Man Blues\u201d, \u201cLast Night\u201d, \u201cHey Girl\u201d, \u201cMole In The Ground\u201d, \u201cThe Moon Is High\u201d, \u201cIn Time\u201d and the rare Blind Blake song \u201cThat Will Never Happen No More\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true gem for one\u2019s record collection, whether or not one is into acoustic country blues or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
