Gu Geu
Seven original songs sung in Basque and an instrumental piece that approach us to a territory half way between blues and rock flavoured by many influences going from Otis Rush, Stevie Ray Vaughn to Ray Charles.
The record opens up with “Starblues”, an instrumental shuffle with Otis Rush reminiscences and the greatest an legendary powerblues trios spirit, with a flawless hammond sound accompanying the band to giving step “Beldurra Iluntasunean” (Fear of the darkness) a half time shuffle with an intimist character and remarkable harmonic developments. “Gu geu” (Us) is declaration of intentions where much missed Stevie Ray Vaughn´s nerve and Sonny Boy Williamson become clear references as the song moves forward verse by verse up to a undoubted rock flavored chorus, probably the most original song from the record. Gesur`N´ Blues” (Lies and Blues) it takes us back to slow blues tradition with a anti-establishment message, deserving special mention Jon´s guitar work and Yon Labayen combining hammond and piano. Follows up “Musikaz Itsu” (Blind with music) and “Irudi biziak” (Living Images) a piano intro in the most pure New Orleans style mixed with mambo, jazz and shuffle thus highlighting the many different influences from the Guipuzkoan band members. “Lagun ezezagun” (Friend) an energetic Blues Rock piece through Jon´s guitar and solvent band´s work. Closing down the record “Errepidean” (In the road) a true blend of styles, right from Boogie to Country hard to classify transgressing any label, taking for granted the originality in each and every song written by Jon Barreros.
