Rob Hoeke - 25 years Rhythm & Blues and Boogie Woogie flac mp3 download

You know those minutes before the sun sets and the mellon moon rises, those minutes that you wish would go on forever, because they just feel so good? Well, allow me to suggest 25 Years of Rhythm & Blues and Boogie Woogie to fill that gap, a compilation laid down by Rob Hoeke, who’s taken on the unbelievable task of merging R&B with a Boogie Woogie backbeat, producing a sound that is nothing less then sensational at stopping time, and planting you feet firmly where they need to be; though considering the floorboard splintering nature of these most bluesy danceable tunes, your feet won’t remain planted for long. Most people don’t know much about Rob, a Dutch musical master who began his career back in 1957, achieving modest, yet unparalleled success in the 1960’s, as there was no one who was doing what Rob Hoeke was doing. This compilation draws deeply from Rob’s career, mixing original numbers with covers you might not expect, yet will slap a mile wide smile across your face with their simple yet profound elegance ... music sure to satisfy any blues lover, and those who straddle the jazz-blues fence, looking for something wholly unique and mind bendingly satisfying.Give it a try ... and when you do, remember that scene in the diner where Johnny Depp is dancing the rolls with two forks in the movie Benny and Joon. You are gonna love this. Review by Jenell Kesler
