A quirky mixture of slapstick humor and all kinds of American “primitive” music with a twist is the backbone of JB & The Delta Jukes. Armed with a wide variety of homemade instruments, like the eight string ”gasolin” and a dung fork-bass guitar, the Jukes always cook up a storm when they serve their original brew of garage blues and string band music to another surprised audience. Influenced just as much by hillbilly and jug band heroes, Gus Cannon and Jimmy Tarlton among others, as by blues legends like Skip James and RL Burnside, the band has created a unique concept; a concept that has made them a winning attraction at several major blues and jazz festivals in Europe. Hey, even the critics like them! Their brand new record on Blue Mood Records, Jug Rock (2007), has just been released on Blue Mood Records.
