Back Porch Republic: Busk/Eriksen/Sjøstrøm – Hustle & Flow

Label: Blue Mood
Releasedate: 01-09-2019

Under the name of Back Porch Republic the three musicians Vidar Busk, Daniel Eriksen and Stig Sjostrom are touring together for over 10 years. The guys now released an album together that is called “Hustle & Flow”. It knows a wide range of influences but the whole always returns to a bluesy touch. It is available now.

The trio is one you can spend a good evening with, that is something that becomes qutie clear when listening this album. Sokey, swinging songs that are skillfully played, with a raw edged vocal on top of it, the perfect mix for a night out or a party at home. The band sound slike one that elevates the experience when you get to see it live. Therefor you may get the feeling that the album is not always living up to that, but don’t let yourself be fooled. The guys are giving you these tracks that are recorded with care. Sure, the mix and the transition from one song to the other is sometimes a bit interesting, but when going beyond that you have the ultimate feel good album.

Whether it is the exciting “Oh Mama” or the calmer “I Love You” the band always knows how to put their own face upfront. The album really highlights what these guys are about and makes you want to see it live. Well done.
