After first listening to the disc to be discussed here, I'm Luna, my battle-Border Collie mixed breed dog, taught a new battle cry: "Get The Cat!" She loves these cute little creatures that unfortunately have communication problems with dogs, idolatrous, as it is with these Katzeklo users grew. Screamingly funny is that Get The Cat until a few years ago called Dog Party Blues Band. What haired, four-legged creatures on this dog was at the center parties, it may amuse the reader to speculate.

"I Sing You The Blues" is now the fifth CD of the Cologne-blues combo, the second under the branding Get The Cat, and I must confess to my shame that this band until now I only knew from hearsay.

Now there are even contemporaries like, say, the cocky as durable as that of the modern blues rock was only anxious to maintain his braids and only too happy to confront this radical with scissors. This opinion I can not and will not join me, as long as those refreshing bands like Get The Cat caress my ear canals. Traditional Blues is here with a little soul, jazz, and even Southern rock enriched and proves impressively that even after more than a hundred years, the blues is still alive and has the ability to constantly peel ... and - I try my skills pundits - this will also be in another hundred years, the case!

A jaunty shuffle, more traditionally kept open, doing "I Sing You the Blues" and singer Astrid Barth exactly this with a charismatic 'full power' voice. The bouncing bass figures by songwriter Till Brandt lend "Your Sweet Kiss" a springy lightness. Funk, soul and R & B dominate the next song "Do not Fall In Love" and "Lies". Both evoke images of the recently discussed by Shakura S'Aida albums and Meena. The soulful ballad "Do not Make A Promise You Can not Keep" 'featured' Astrid's strong voice.
