GRITS'N GRAVY : Second shot

14 months after their debut release German duo Grits'n Gravy return with 'Second Shot' - their second album (you guessed it). 'Grits'n Gravy' still consists of drummer/singer Mighty Mike OMB of Voodoo Rhythm recording artists The Juke Joint Pimps and Cat Lee King - a young and skinny piano player with a big voice. No idea where he gets it from, but he has the soul of Ray Charles and the mean attack of Bunker Hill. The guys spent two days in the studio to lay down 12 tracks of which 10 made the final cut. Musically Grits'n Gravy still stand for '50s Rock'n'Roll, raw Rhythm'n'Blues and early Soul. While their first release mainly consisted of cover tunes this time the duo has written seven originals which are padded by their interpretations of sides like 'Tell A Whale Of A Tale' (Wynonie Harris), 'Act Right' (Wynona Carr) and an inspired re-working of 'I Put A Spell On You' (Screamin' Jay Hawkins). In order to broaden the sonic palette Mike and Cat invited a few friends to add double-bass, guitar and saxophones (two guys from Ray Collins Hot Club) on selected tracks. You are going to witness a Rhythm & Blues Battle of epic proportions!
