On The Run - Palaveri, Seinäjoki 2008
New CD 'Wrecked available from Levykauppa Äx www.levykauppax.fi/ "What a nice little unpretentious session - super voice, guitar, drumming - the whole nine yards - just the Mississippi hill country blues - hints of the greats - Kimbrough, the Burnsides - I liked it!! Phil Wight - Blues & Rhythm Magazine
"R L Burnside's cut down blues grooves reincarnated - and now living in Finland!" - Mike Garner, Blues News, New Zealand.
"L.R.Phoenix & MR.Mo'Hell Offer Us The Essence Of The Blues Past, While At The Same Time, Creating The Art Of The Blues Future" - John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network.
"Dirty blues is what I like and L.R. Phoenix delivers it. His songs are raw and passionate, played with a hard to beat attitude and a kind of dark atmosphere attached to them. This is the Mississippi Hill Country blues played right!" Przemek Draheim, Blues.pl Magazine
"L.R. draws deeply from the eternal well of blues tradition. Mississippi corn fields are the landscape that irrevocably pops up in one's mind while listening to this conjurer of mighty feelings." – Jukka 'Black River Bluesman' Juhola, Finland
“I sing about what I know; women, whiskey and loneliness. You’re alone so you drink to keep yourself company. One day you get lucky and find a woman, but then she causes you to drink. After a while she leaves and you're back drinking alone. It just goes around and around, until you’re 6 feet in the ground. Bad whisky's like a bad wife, you let them in they'll ruin your life.” – L.R.Phoenix
Hey! Of course not! Also because you have a song called "Black Cat Bone"... :D :D
No, not just enough you are from Joensuu, I like the music but yes, being from Joensuu would be a good enough reason! Feeling nostalgic! Thanks for adding me! :))
