Nico Duportal:

I’m so proud this friend called me up to join forces and help them in producing their debut Album!! Don’t get it wrong, it’s not just another Blues record as it’s been done for the last 10 years … No, no, this one is 100 % genuine with about 10 (+ 1 bonus track) originals songs for about more than 35 minutes of great Music, written by Tim and the Gang . All kind of moods are on it, not only “West-coast Blues” … You’ll find some inspirations from the Rough Memphis Blues / R&B sounds , and a relaxed and tight Caraibean Calypso thing … Listen to the lyrics !! Geez, Tim has a great sense of humor, even when he’s talkin about the serious thing of contemporary issues and troubles in the modern way of life ! What about the guitar ? hum to me Tim is a mix of heroes from the late 40’s / mid 50’s as Robert Lockwood, Earl Hooker, Pat Hare with some good and tasty influences from his contemporary slingers and Artist as my friend Junior Watson … also you can hear some Tom Waits mix with Watson or Holmstrom guitar licks, when Tim Turns freaky, dumb on “take off your clothes” . Actualy this one is one of my favorite !!

“hard to catch” was recorded in 4 days at the sputnik studio near Antwerp, and it was full of good vibes and moods during the time I’ve spent there with this great bunch of guys. I know you will feel and understand what I’m Talking about when you’ll be listening to those great 11 tracks , and I’m pretty sure you’ll love them like I do.
