In first years of new Millennium Jon Lord met with his new low-profile band of old guys The Hoochie Coochie Men. No jokes, they play blues standards, using vintage keyboards, in a traditions of British blues of late 60-s. This album is first live band recording, and it's double CD album plus DVD, recorded live in Sydney, Australia. From band's name and cover art you can perfectly recognize, what kind of sound you will find inside. Guys play enthusiastic, but extremely simple classic blues tunes, with harmonica, some characteristic Jon Lord's Hammond passages and .... it's all. Plenty of speaking communication with dedicated public makes this release more attractive for heavy fans. Musically there are myriads of blues musicians, playing that music better. Even in rare moments, when band goes to heavier blues rock, the music sounds as played by good suburb pub band. We believe Jon Lord and Co. have fun playing easy and relaxed music. This recording is absolutely collectors item, possibly released for sales during band's live shows. Fans can hear Jon playing simple music in informal atmosphere.

The Hoochie Coochie Men was a renowned Australian blues group composed of former Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne bass player Bob Daisley, guitarist and singer Tim Gaze and drummer Rob Grosser. The recurring member of the band was former Deep Purple keyboard player Jon Lord who first performed with The Hoochie Coochie Men in February 2003 after an injury which prevented him from performing his usual concert setlist on piano. Very enjoyable and well done performance. Classic blues- rock concert of classic compositions in the small venue with superb sound and responsive audience. John Lord is fantastic, great to watch him playing. Tim Gaze's guitar work features on this album, despite the cover proclaiming Jon Lord's dominance. At some points Lord seems hesitant to lay his hammond lines over the top of some groovy blues standards yet when he does, the effect is quite interesting. John Lord needs no introduction, after all he is why you're reading this. But the band and the amazing blend between them make this disc stand out way over your average blues recording. Don't expect much in term of visual production, this is a live shot taken in 2003 at a Sidney blues joint called The Basement. But the recording is flawless and the music, oh, the music... Don't worry about the sound, it's as good as you'll ever get. The DVD is about over 120 minutes of the best classic Blues you can find anywhere. Plus you'll be blown to pieces with electric blues band arrangements for tunes the likes of Cream's ''Strange Brew'', Foghat ''I just Wanna Make Love To You'' and a personal John Lord version of Booker T. & The MG's ''Green Onions''. Great blues album with good mix of songs. This DVD has simple must have. Don't miss it.
