Description
Since the 2018 release of their Alligator Records debut, The High Cost Of Low Living, The Nick Moss Band ft. Dennis Gruenling, has toured relentlessly, playing for wildly enthusiastic fans and winning over critics and radio programmers worldwide. UK magazine Mojo said, “Guitarist and singer Nick Moss shows the world his fearsome guitar chops and his complete familiarity with the great tradition of Chicago blues music. Partnered with harmonica player Dennis Gruenling, Moss creates a two-headed monster that takes the band thundering through crisp originals.”
Indeed, their follow-up Lucky Guy! is a foot-stomping showcase featuring the classic Chicago blues sound the band is known for. But there are also a few other flavours, including Louisiana swamp pop, West Coast blues, New Orleans funk, and even some proto-rock and roll. All but one of the 14 songs are originals, with 11 by Moss and two by Gruenling. The band delivers each one with uncompromising skill and authority. Start to finish, Lucky Guy! is a joyous, sonic blast of pure blues power.
