Awek - Let's Party Down (2019)

Awek are among the best blues France has to offer! The new 2019 album comes in a double pack and tells the story of the band on the second CD on 14 rare songs, starting with their first studio recording in 1995!

These guys do not imitate anyone any more than they pretend to feel this music: they sweat it with the same naturalness and legitimacy as any other international blues first-league artist, to which they belong of right. From then on, the list of guests who came to join them seems even more obvious: besides Rusty Zinn, Drew Davies and Bob Welsh, their host and producer Kid Andersen also gives himself his featuring. For it is indeed at this San Diego wizard, in his studios Greaseland, that AWEK has just recorded his new album. Just like Tommy Castro, the Nightcats and Rockin 'Johnny before, yes. More than ever swing and class, the aerobatic rhythm that lavish Joël Ferron and Olivier Trebel unrolls the track of ad hoc takeoff for the two soloists, Bernard Sellam and Stéphane Bertolino (here at the top of their art in all circumstances). To better appreciate if necessary the extent of the path traveled since their debut, our friends offer as a bonus a full bonus of choice cuts from their concerts from 1995 to 2017. This double CD carries its title: Fiesta on all floors, and a damn classic moreover...!
