At the time (around '65, '66, '67) we just called it Rock & Roll, sometimes R&B (Rhythm & Blues). Bands of the era found old blues records and fashioned their versions of them with renewed vigour and enthusiasm. Brash interpretations full of naïve playing but strong on beat and melody and wild on delivery. Some wrote their own songs based on these principals. I loved those times of unbridled exuberance. With this album I've tried to capture all this. Not absolutely accurately but just trying to recreate some of the feelings I experienced doing it. Sure, recording techniques and advances in production quality have come into the equation now, and a couple of tracks don't necessarily fall into the above category, but the overall aim was to go back to the methods of creating it to a certain extent. At first I wanted to stick very closely to the genre, but once the recording process began, I came to realise that this was neither practical nor totally necessary, so I began to let the album take its natural course and found that it took on its own unique identity.......Jim Keays Released in a Jewel Case with clear CD Tray and 8 page booklet
