In my prime

"Hot-handed guitarist, singer, and songwriter Kai Strauss channels a wonderfully funky 1970s blues sound on his latest album ... the record shows us Strauss at the peak of his considerable powers and more than lives up to its title. He has a deep connection to the Old Masters of the blues, which he blends with his own energy and experience gained on stages around the world, and should never be considered just one more European player rehashing his record collection. Strauss is grounded in the Chicago blues tradition but is influenced by all manner of authentic vibes and plays them his own way. As a result, In My Prime is an absolutely cracking set of new blues music that will appeal to old heads and young moderns alike".
