Little Axe - Return - (2013)

Met dank aan motormuijs :-)

What is Little Axe? It's what you get when you take the blues and subject them to the 21st century. It's not a complicated thing. The blues is a feeling, not a technique. And feelings don't change as much as we'd like to think. In fact, it's entirely feasible to imagine that were Charley Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Leadbelly, Blind Willie Johnson and Skip James alive and kicking today, they'd recognise Little Axe as a continuation of their own work by other means. Little Axe is the blues, the deep blues channelled through time, dubbed, tweaked, sampled, processed, explored, refreshed - surfing the present, from the past, into the future.
