DE KEYZER-THE CORKTOWN SESSIONS-CANADA’S BEST BLUESMAN ON A ROLL-by john emms
After 25 years of being a class act, it’s scary to think JACK DE KEYZER is now hitting his full stride
THAT FOLKS IS IMPRESSIVE
I have been a huge JACK DE KEYZER supporter for many years. Perhaps some people may have grown tired of my absolute steadfast proclamations that Jack is one of the leading lights of blues music in NORTH AMERICA.
Well, with his most recent album THE CORKTOWN SESSIONS being virtually stuck in my vehicle’s cd player for the last 7 months it only seems right his recent 2010 Juno win for BLUES ALBUM of the year is icing on the cake.
I’ve been writing reviews, playing his music on my new radio show and finally put my own natural trust in Jack to produce and play on both of our SHAFTMEN CD’S.
I could go into huge detail why you need THE CORKTOWN SESSIONS as part of your blues collection, but any artist who bridges the gap between blues, roots, jazz and plain ol’ rock n roll deserves your full attention.
