Markos Untzeta and Robert Johnson across the Mississippi
Have passed 100 years since that the bluesman Roberts Johnson born, and the basque musician Markos Untzeta public his third album, Mississippi. The title is clear about where we can travel with his songs: an interesting journey to the lands of blues, gospel and country, which begins at the legendary crossroads. You can listen and buy the cd here.
The rush is not usually good travel companion, not when the road is long to make. Markos Untzeta (Eibar, Gipuzkoa, 1970) has learned in his musical career to take things in stride, assuming the role of outsider mentioned in one of his songs. After releasing two albums steeped in classic American rock-Gauaren basamortuan (Gaztelupeko Hotsak, 2002) and Zenbat euri (Hirusta, 2006) - has invested a lot of patience and four years of work in his third recording, but you can rest assured the result says all.
Mississippi is a great step forward in the path of Untzeta, the album contains his best compositions, stylistically varied and richer in sound-arrangements and never sounded so accessible and also so true to the roots
