The 70 minute CD/DVD registration from this show is just released by Continental Record Services with the titel: Live – 35 Years Of Rock Rollin Blues. The Juke Joints is a addictive good and tight band with a great mix of rock ’n roll, blues, rockabilly and zydeco. The live album contains 13 tracks with 3 new songs (Hold On , Mercy Mercy and I Will Follow), a few traditionals and a fine selection of Juke Joints originals. ‘Live’ it shows a band in a great shape !
