If you know me, you know I've always been passionate about that "certain" music with that "certain" sound from 50 to 60 years ago. Today there are only a few studio's who manage to bring this magic sound back. One of them is our good buddy Jimmy Sutton from Chicago, il. He runs his own studio and label from his own home called HI-STYLE RECORDS and does an amazing job recording and producing. Belgian Moonshine Reunion recorded in his studio a few months ago and will be out in a few weeks. (see previous post)

LEX VAN ROSSEN AWARD

2011-01-17T01:02:00.002+01:00

Congratz to Dirk Wolf for winning the Lex Van Rossen Award for best European Music Photography for TRIGGERFINGER.
A word from the jury: “depict outstandingly the atmosphere of the city and the trip. The photos look just as sunny and sultry like Los Angeles itself. They show the ultimate dream of any band from Belgium or Holland: for recording your album off to sunny LA. Wolf doesn’t show the members of the band as tough rockers but like men on a holiday, in the sun, enjoying the weather and the environment they were in. You’d expect blood sweat and tears in a report like this but that’s not what you see. In that sense these are surprising photographs. As a report it works very well too: the band arrives, hangs around and leaves again. The circle is closed”.

I always loved this cover since the day I bought it some 25 years ago. Stroff was a Belgian solo-artist in the late 70's and early 80's Rockabilly revival. Wild Cat Daddy was released in 1981 and has some killer EVER MEULEN artwork.
