-A quote from Chicago:
"I have been lucky in my life for two big reasons, being born and raised in Chicago and being a blues fan. As everyone knows there was no better place to be. Since the late 1960's I have been blessed to have seen all the talent Chicago had to offer from the little or unknown harp player on the Westside to nights of Muddy and Wolf. Being honest things are far different now, It takes much more to get me motivated. Now the clubs offer more blues/rock cliches and tourist driven song lists. But there is hope ! After listening to a copy of the Robbert Fossen Blues Band CD, I must tell you this is definitely one band that would get me out of my easy chair to check them out. These guys sound like they have that fire within'. That 'feeling' whether it's a Jimmy Rogers' or an original tune comes through. And after listening all these years to all this music the 'feeling' is what really matters and this band has it. Good luck guys."
