Incredibly like the Hitman Blues Band, on a good night!
"The Blues Can't Hit (What The Blues Can't Catch)"
recorded live 9/20/08 at the Rock Out Against Cancer Benefit
Formed in 1986, The Hitman Blues Band played all over the New York metro area before moving on to the UK and the rest of the US Eastern Seaboard. While the personnel have changed over the years due to touring demands (except for Russell "Hitman" Alexander), the line-up has always been top notch players with the fire and experience needed to lift up the audience. With two critically acclaimed CDs and extremely successful UK tours, The Hitman Blues Band is ready to expand into new markets throughout the US and Europe.
NOTE: Some people ask why anyone would want a gazillion friends - it seems there are some folks who just collect friends for the hell of it.
As an indie band, MySpace has given us the opportunity to reach a lot of people who otherwise wouldn’t hear us. If we’ve sent you a friend invitation, it’s because we’ve looked at your profile and thought you might enjoy our music. Thanks for stopping by!
