Correction to AJAY's review

I love Akkerman's guitar, but King's vocals are a bust.

Jan plays the blues.......2003-07-05

This album features Jan Akkerman and Curtis Knight (who sadly died recently) playing the blues. Curtis Knight made his name in the 1960's and featured a guitarist by the name of Jimi Hendrix in his band. This album features a number of Jimi's songs and covers (including Little wing and All along the watchtower) and in keeping with the tradition of the blues this record is raw with some fierce blues playing from Akkerman and soulful vocals from Knight.

As for previous comments about Jan Akkerman never being in a vocal band check out his early work with The Hunters and his pre-Focus hard rock band Brainbox.

Correction to AJAY's review.......1999-10-06

I haven't heard this (and am therefore echoing AJAY's 2 star review), but want to correct some misinformation. Jan Akkerman had no involvement with Focus Con Proby. That was done by Thijs Van Leer's new version of Focus after the Akkerman / Van Leer split. Jan's prior works with a vocalist were primarily his recordings with Kaz Lux ("Eli" is the only one available here). Eli is worthwhile! -- The Fly

I love Akkerman's guitar, but King's vocals are a bust........1999-06-06

Jan Akkerman is an awesome guitarist, but the combination of he and King Curtis doesn't work (Just as his earlier attempt to include vocals on the, "FOCUS CON PROBY" album was also a disaster). Jan is best when he's doing only instrumental work on his albums. The vocalists and song selections are weird. I have most all of Akkerman's work, and would not reccommend this one.
