Bootstompin' The Blues!
1998 - After several years of playin' and singin' Blues standards, Magic Buck spends falls and winter writing his own material.
He then begins recording with friend Patrice "Lezart" Lasartigues' help at home, Toulon and in Studio Janas, Six-Fours (south of France). These sessions gave birth to eighteen tracks you can hear on this nervous and powerful debut album.
Total timing : 71mn
Recorded live with no overdubs on a ProTool & Macintosh 4 track digital system
Recording & Mix : Patrice "Lézart" Lasartigues
Pre-mastering : Jean-Luc, at Mad Master, Paris
Photos : Jean-Michel Fidanza, Toulon
