Chris Jagger's Atcha! are releasing their third album
'Act of Faith' on S.P.V's Blue label.
Atcha!, described as 'gumbo blues' by Observer critic Stuart Nicholson, deliver their most mature and compelling album to date. The new album comes after a year of club and festival appearances that included the Montreal Jazz Festival, Marlborough Jazz Festival, Glastonbury Festival and numerous European festivals.
'Act of Faith' follows two previous, acclaimed recordings, Rock The Zydeco (a.k.a Atcha!, released on Sequel Records, UK, and Curb Records, USA) and Channel Fever (Latent Talent). Spearheaded by Chris's wry, often poignant songwriting, the new album clearly cements the band's position amongst the finest exponents of earthy swamp blues, cajun and roots-rock.
Not only does the new album feature new slants on the hard driving cajun rockers and growling blues that are the band's trademark, but it reaches deep into slippery New Orleans funk with '15% Extra Free' and swinging country/zydeco on 'Got Me Where you Want Me' featuring the great singer Sam Brown. 'DJ Blues' is the first duet ever recorded by Chris and Mick Jagger, and the desolate haunting 'Junkman', one of Chris' greatest songs, features an unforgettable atmospheric guitar cameo from David Gilmour.
