I spoke with Nigel about his last CD -High Price to Play-, and I told him what my favourite numbers are. First favourite is "Letter from the Birmingham Jail". This number is dedicated to MartinLuther King jr and realy gives you goose flesh. It starts with a sample of the wellknow speech op Martin Luther King saying "I Have a dream". Nigel told me the story how much trouble it have cost to find the sample, but when he finaly got it, how it perfectly fitted in the intro and the rythem of the song. It is realy a great blues number written by Nigel himself, it lasts over 7 minutes. 7 minutes of enjoyment. Nigel told me while mixing the speech and the song, he himself got goose flesh.
Another favourite is "Bed Room Eyes", a story of a succesfull man, wife children, good job at the office and he falls in love with the new management assistant.
This is Nigel on Blues Route on Tour, May 7th in Bunnik.
