Delta Blues Band

Delta Blues Band was originally formed in 1968 in Copenhagen. In the spring 1969 they got the chance to record an album for the big record-company EMI and their album was one of the first rock-albums using the multitrack technique in Denmark. Just after the release of their debut album the brothers Thomas and Michael left the group to form the successful group Pan. By 1968 the main rhythm and blues group in Denmark was Beefeaters. However, Delta Blues Band was distinct from both Beefeaters and the many other groups playing British inspired rhythm and blues in Denmark. Delta Blues Band was rather American blues inspired with a massive psychedelic touch (and light show). Delta Blues Band opened for Chicken Shack, Taste, Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. This sole album by Delta Blues Band is very rare and it is fetching very high prices among collectors. The album has a solid status among those early underground blues albums we like so much such as Keef Hartley Band, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and Savoy Brown. A jewel from beginning to end.
