de Swarte, Rafael - Songs of the common man CD

This new album includes the first original blues ever released featuring the great Ville Vesalainen on lead guitar ‘In the Name of the Blues’ and features Ville on several standout tracks! Ville is well known for his work with his band Willie and the Goodsouls and the long established Grammers. All the instumentalists were willing to step outside their ‘comfort’ zone and give 100% playing on this project. One rare fact: Tapani Kärnä long known as Turku’s own Luthier, Musitech, plays fabulous tenor sax on the title track.
