With this internationally distributed album and a North American debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival (July 2007), Matt Schofield is the new ambassador of blues guitar and is being talked of asthe finest blues guitarist to have emerged in Europe for several generations, perhaps even in the world. Britain's guitarist magazine describes Schofield's guitar playing as 'dynamite', picking him as the only non -American in their review of the future of blues guitar. From the start of the first cut I understand all this favourable reviews about this new blues guitar sensation. Let's get straight to the point. Matt Schofield plays the blues like the blues should be played. Pack it up immediately blows your brains out while Troublemaker is already one of my all time favourite bluestracks after listening to it once. A hammond player (Jonny Henderson) giving it that sleazy texture while holding down left hand bass lines and a drummer (Evan Jenkins) shuffling the groove. This Manchester born artist definitely knows his blues roots giving me hints to the great Stevie Ray Vaughn and the legendary Robben Ford. Schofield however keeps his authenticity. Anyone with a heart for blues music ... I can tell you without doubt. I've seen the future of the blues, and it's name is Matt Schofield. Go and buy this record !
