For several years, fans have been asking for a live CD which documentsthe spontaneity and vitality of Abi, Steve and Martin's on-stageperformances. It took a while, but it's finally in the bag:
Abi Wallenstein & BluesCulture feat. Steve Baker & Martin Röttger - "In Concert" (Blue Moon Records 1315-1514-46)
order here from Moonsound
When BluesCulture perform, songs seem to evolve organically and attheir own pace, frequently without any conscious planning on the partof the band. These tunes were recorded at three concerts in and aroundHamburg in January and March 2009 and combine elements from countryblues, rock'n'roll, funk, roots music and more, highlighting themusicians' individual styles while reflecting a clearly defined bandconcept. The live shows unmistakeably underline the shamanistic side ofperforming music, where band and audience come together as one tocelebrate a trance-like state of mutual ecstasy, rather than justacceding to the demands of show business.
Recorded live in Hamburg in early 2009 and mixed by the great Florian Ihle.
