..+ Blues Goblins+..
Blues Goblins was primarily conceived as a magic spell, cast by the Blues Goblins on themselves (himself), in order to affect specific changes in their work and life. Beyond this, it is also thought possible that the spell might have some residual effect on other people who might be interested in this music, or perhaps simply provide some entertainment. Page 9
ORDER
LISTEN
Formally, the music consists of 'cover versions' of classic era, early to mid 20th century, blues songs by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Skip James and Memphis Minnie among others. Performed in a rough, psychedelic and eperimental blues-rock style the music is loose, loud, sometimes frightening, but always passionate. This is the first Blues Goblins record. Off Records is thrilled to be releasing it.
