MUSICIENS :
The cast of musicians includes young & fantastic Ana Popovic’s percussionist & drummer Stephane Avellaneda, here on cajòn & percs,, talented newcomer Thomas Weirich on electric bass, various guitars and carnatic mandolin, veteran J.P. Avellaneda guitarist & leader of the Mercy Band who handles engineering, plays acoustic guitar & slide and vietnamese lute (!), old pals and collaborators Pat Boudot-Lamot (on acoustic guitar, dobro and short scale 12 string guitar), Chris Mellies on bass guitar and Fred "The Wizzard" Chapellier on acoustic guitar / mandolin / bouzouki / guitar-sitar / cister / octave mandolin.
Guests are John Mooney one of the finest slide guitar players ever on "Where is the director ?" and Tom Principato guitar virtuoso friend on the co-penned "How I love them good ole blues !" trading licks with Pat Boudot-Lamot. Johnny Ferracci plays bass guitar on both cuts, & Fab Miller Millerioux on the first song does a great New Orleans drumming ! Leadfoot’s singing is always convincing & at times really moving. The voice gets deeper and bruised with the years passing by and his harp playing is tasty & colourful yet simple.
Le casting des musiciens comprend le jeune et fantastique batteur de Ana Popovic Stéphane Avellaneda, ici sur cajón et percussions, le talentueux nouveau venu Thomas Weirich à la basse électrique, guitares diverses et mandoline carnatique, le vétéran Jean-Paul Avellaneda guitariste et leader de Mercy band qui gère l'ingénierie, joue de la guitare acoustique et slide et aussi du luth vietnamien (!), de vieux amis et collaborateurs, Pat Boudot-Lamot (à la guitare acoustique, dobro et short scale 12 string guitar), Chris Mellies à la basse et Fred "The Wizzard" Chapellier à la guitare acoustique, mandoline, bouzouki, guitare-sitar, cistre et mandole (octave mandolin).
Les invités sont John Mooney un des meilleurs joueurs de slide guitare sur "Where is the director ?" Et l'ami de longue date Tom Principato virtuose de la guitare sur "How I love them good ole blues !". Johnny Ferracci joue de la guitare basse sur deux morceaux et Fab Miller Millerioux sur la première chanson.
Au chant Leadfoot Rivet est toujours aussi convaincant. Sa voix devient plus profonde au fil des ans et son jeu à l'harmonica, tout en restant simple, est d'une couleur remarquable.
