Released in 2024, the highly anticipated album "... still in love with the Blues" was created by Takashi "Hotoke" Nagai and Junji Yamagishi of the pioneering Japanese blues band, West Road Blues Band. The long-awaited LP is now available!
Masaki Ueda of South to South, a leader in the Kansai Blues/R&B scene, participated in two tracks not included on the CD. Including the two tracks included on the CD, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a member of the band, making this a must-have for fans.
The album is simple, with no one, including guest musician Masaki Ueda, standing out, and each song ends without any pretensions. It's a heartwarming moment of gratitude for the band's love of the blues and their simple delivery of that passion. This album allows you to fully enjoy the blues of a band that has loved it for half a century. Recording and mixing were handled by Naoyuki Uchida (LITTLE TEMPO, OKI DUB AINU BAND, etc.), who is well known for his work on the recent albums of Blues the Butcher, the band in which Nagai currently plays.
