Release Notes:
Within the British music industry, the name Kris
Dollimore is one that makes you stand to attention.
The cover of '02/01/1978' features a photo of Kris
on his 12th birthday proudly holding his guitar
overlooked by a poster of a freshly faced, spiky
haired Johnny Rotten on one side & Jimmy Page & Led
Zeppellin on the other side. If that is an
indication of Kris' initial musical influences, this
heritage has continued in style. A founder member of
legendary London rock five piece The Godfathers,
Kris then went on to be one of the country's most
respected session guitarists before enjoying success
in The Damned and then Del Amitri. He has now
decided to propel himself centre stage with 12
tracks of modern, British blues. If, like me, you
are not familiar with the blues, this is the perfect
introduction. Listen out for 'Miss Emma Jane',
'Loved Up Blues' and the enigmatic 'East Of England'
(Kris' ode to his birthplace) as the pick of the
originals. 'Groundhog' & a highly original version
of Iggy & The Stooges 'T.V.Eye' are the most notable
covers, whilst 'The Enemy' best highlight's Kris'
mercurial talent. For those who are seasoned
followers of the blues, this selection of mainly
original material will grab, shake & enthral you.
Whilst record companies scrap for singer songwriter
genius, it is only a time before a blues artist
comes to the fore. If it is down to pure talent &
the songs, you may well be hearing a lot more from
Kris Dollimore.
