British Blues, Blues Rock, CD kiadvány, 2015-ös album.
Giles Hedley is an established draw at blues festivals large and small and clubs all over Britain. He is „one of Britain’s foremost roots and country blues performers ” (Blues Matters) and „a mainstay of the British Blues scene” (Blues in Britain), with a rapidly growing Facebook following. There is a broad range of early bluesmen numbers including Son House; Robert Johnson, Mckinley Morganfield, Rev Gary Davies and many more, the selection of composers and every track selected has been considered with care.
Every track has something to add to the musical lexicon of the blues collected here; his rendition of „Death Ain’t Got No Mercy” is full of emotion that builds from the opening three bass notes and the simplicity of the arrangement ensures it is the vocals that have the centre stage. Ending with Jealous-Hearted Me, a Robin Hicks number that has a fluidity and a toe tapping beat leaving you with a spring in your musical step, an album for the dedicated collector of the blues and a fabulous introduction to the greats and the songs we love for anyone new to traditional blues. The production by Richard Sadler, an album recorded in the studio as a live take with no over dubs is superb the result is a blues gem for any collection.
