Today we give a big thanks to my roving blues reporter, Baz, back in the UK. He introduced me to Del Bromham's Blues Devils. There is just something about the British blues bands, somehow a bit more authentic. Not as authentic as the originals like Muddy Waters, BB King, Robert Johnson, etc, etc, etc, but hella good.
Baz said about them: "Last Wednesday we had Del Bromham Blues Devils at the Eel Pie Club --man what a gig --down and dirty with some real cool blues picking and a drummer as loud as Jon Bonham and a bass player as good as Jack Bruce - seek out their music and have a listen."I echo his sentiments, check 'em out.
In case you think you recognize the name, of course Del Bromham was the founder of the rock group Stray.

"In the late 60s the first wave of heavy guitar idols were usually Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Bromham's past work should be reappraised as he clearly slipped through the net" Encyclopedia of Popular Music - Copyright Muze UK Ltd. 1989 - 2002
