Once again, Scandanavian blues stays true to the traditional blues sound while so many of the contemporary blues artists in the US offer some variation on rockblues.  The LOWDOWN SAINTS feature a stripped down rocking blues sound without histronics or endless solo excursions......Covers include JIMMY MCCRACKLIN, WILLIE LOVE, EARL KING as well as RUSTY ZINN, KIM WILSON & JEFF TURMES.  Sweden's new powerhouse aggregation features Trickbag’s frontman Tommy Moberg (drums & vocals), Hannes Mellberg and Felix Matthiessen (guitars) and Karl Ivert (double bass). Special guests include Tomi Leino (Trickbag, Tomi Leino Trio) as well as multi-instrumentalist Torbjörn Eliasson (Knock-Out Greg & Blue Weather, Sven Zetterberg, Trickbag) on sax/piano/organ.........
