Boozoo Bajou New LP.

After the world-wide success of their debut-album "Satta", Boozoo Bajou return with "Dust My Broom". Yes, the laidback feel of their sound re-flects the eased-out attitude and pace, with which the Boozoo´s produce their music. Good things simply take time. The term "Dust My Broom" is rooted in blues music. In the figurative sense, amongst others, this term means to "make a clean sweap" and the be-ginning of something new. An apt title for the second album by Boozoo Ba-jou, with which the two Nuremberg, Germany, based producers Peter Heider and Florian Seyberth join !K7 Records after years of collaboration with label Stereo Deluxe. Besides the new label cooperation, "Dust My Broom" most of all it´s the beginning of something new as it marks a fresh new chapter in the sound of Boozoo Bajou. The opening track "Keep Going" starts with the deep Southern voice of country legend Tony Joe White, which Boozoo Bajou have repeatedly cited as one of their main musical influences. Track two, "Take It Slow" features the voice of U-Brown, another roots legend, this time from Kingston, Jamaica. U-Brown is one of JA´s most renowned voices, he was MC at "King Tubby´s Hometown Hi-Fi" sound system amongst others. On "Take It Slow" he mingles with Joe Dukie from New Zealand´s Fat Freddy´s Drop, one of the greatest soul reggae voices of the new millenium. A track that perfectly illustrates the skills of Boozoo Bajou to create musical continuities be-tween the past and the present. For the track "Way Down", the Boozoo´s engaged young blues singer Ben Weaver, who sings in a Tom Waits kind of style about the ups and downs of the music business. "Moanin´" is sung by Berlin based blues singer Wayne Martin, who already appeared on the Boozoo Bajou song "Camioux", which was released in 2002. Last but not least "Treat Me", featuring soul crooner and the voice of Blaxploitation´s "Foxy Brown" Willie Hutch, who elegantly rounds up the cameos of a highly impressive list of guest vocalists that wonderfully contributed to "Dust My Broom". Without a doubt, "Dust My Broom" can already be considered a classic and it´s a more than worthy follow up to "Satta".
