The Mannish Boys are somewhat of a modern day blues phenomenon. Led by the vision of Randy Chortkoff, this group has become known as an amazing revue of the West Coast’s top blues players with a family of special guests that represents Randy’s deep conviction to the blues. The new double CD will be called Double Dynamite and will be officially released May 15th on Delta Groove Productions. Here is Amazon’s editorial pre-review of the CD: “(2-CD set) The Mannish Boys transcend their five previous critically acclaimed recordings with Double Dynamite – an unprecedented double studio album containing outstanding musicianship with many spectacular and notable special guests. Featured artists include Finis Tasby, Sugar Ray Rayford, Mud Morganfield, Jackie Payne, Elvin Bishop, Rod Piazza, James Harman, Jason Ricci, Bob Corritore, Randy Chortkoff, Kirk Fletcher, Frank Goldwasser, Junior Watson, Kid Ramos, Nathan James, Mike Finnigan, Fred Kaplan, Rob Rio, Willie J. Campbell, Bill Stuve, Jimi Bott and many more!” These sessions happened at Ardent Studios in Los Angeles over a full week in mid-January, 2012. Thank you Delta Groove for the commitment to traditional blues. We have put together a web page of photos from the making of this fine CD. Enjoy!
