In the world of Dogbreath the Blues never left Mississippi for Chicago. Instead it stumbled around halfdrunk between the Delta and the Hill Country. Sometimes it took it´s turns to Georgia to watch a cool drag queen who´s name was Richard Penniman. In the sixties it let itself become fertilized of James Brown´s hard erected groove. Then it was Come On In for real. Hard rock, punk and even pop stood in the doorway and demanded to be noticed. The Blues (carefully nursing it´s grand grand child Hip-Hop) took a glance and said: - Cool... And kept going. Dogbreath worship at the shrine of ex-Dr Feelgood guitarist, Wilko Johnson, and have a penchant for the punk-funk of the Gang Of Four. They also possess an esoteric, yet danceable jitteriness and grit all of their own. An ominous cover of Sleepy John Estes's Someday Baby contrasts wonderfully with the exhilarating, hiccoughing drive of their originals. Per Ahman's voice does falsetto soul one minute, next he's as gruff as Tom Waits' younger brother. This life-enhancing racket made me laugh out loud with joy.
