Description
[Machine Translation] The first acoustic album by Shunsuke Kikuta, one of Japan's leading blues guitarists, featuring eight originals and three covers of classic blues and R&B songs, all but one recorded as a solo performance. One of the songs was recorded in France as a guitar duo with a young French blues star, El Jose. ( 1 ) In love with the blues. This is an original song about the young Kikuta himself, who moved to Chicago in search of the blues, and how he learned the blues and fell more in love with it through his interactions with the musicians he met in Chicago. It is the only song on the album sung in Japanese, and was selected for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Yell for the Arts! and was featured on the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's website. ( 2 ) Chicago midnight. This is an acoustic arrangement of Kikuta's original and fan favorite. By changing the key and swinging the tempo freely, the song expresses a deep melancholy and freedom unique to an acoustic solo, which is different from the original version. ( 3 ) People get ready. A Curtis Mayfield classic is arranged in a delta blues style, making full use of an open-tuned resonator guitar. The sound of the Southern landscape popping out of the song is fresh and different from the original. ( 4 ) Old Mississippi Road. This is an original song written during a trip to the Mississippi Delta in the southern U.S., the home of the blues. He traveled from small town to small town and wrote about the local scenery and his encounters with musicians. The original poem is accompanied by a memorable southern blues guitar sound with bottlenecks. Composers and other/participating artists include Shunsuke Kikuta as well as French guitarist El Jose. In addition to Kikuta's eight original compositions, the album covers works by Wheely Dixon, T Bone Walker, and Curtis Mayfield. Born in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, Kikuta has lived in Chicago for over 20 years and has performed with the Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, and many others. He performed on Koko Taylor's Grammy-nominated "Old School". She performed at the Kennedy Center Honors in front of President George W. Bush, and was introduced as "Shogun of the blues" by host Clint Eastwood. He appeared on the TV program "An Evening with B.J.".
