“The shift back to the blues is a natural,” says Gibbons. “It’s something which our followers can enjoy with the satisfaction of experiencing the roots tradition and, at the same time, feeling the richness of stretching the art form… There’s something very primordial within the art form. Nobody gets away from the infectious allure of those straight-ahead licks!”
