Let the good groove roll

Andy J. Forest knows how to set you in a joyful mood for the day with his albums full of humorous energy and recorded live for many of them. Real live albums with no later studio overdubs or edits ! The music slaps you in the face with solid slamming beat and flapping groove. The blues jumps hard and nice, sometimes taking a slower but equally jazzy swinging pace.

Forest's hot harmonica and powerful imaginary vocals are running energetically over excellent guitar and keyboard work, and tight job of always perfectly chosen bass-drums sections.

The songs cover a large range of styles ― rock'n'roll, blues and R'n'B, Zydeco and even a few jazz-rock infused numbers ―, and it's not surprising that for over 40 years Forest has been a New Orleans resident, a city where one doesn't joke with groove and letting the good times roll.
