to the repertoire and work towards a brand new studio album.

music, with the unmistakeable Climax groove at the heart of the
music. The album shot to the top of the Amazon Hot New Release
Download chart, and Number 3 in the iTunes Blues Chart.

Pete Feenstra regular contributor to “Get Ready to Rock” says
‘Hands Of Time’ is a brave step forward. It’s the sound of a mature
band drawing on historic roots to explore polished songcraft
through a mix of deep funky grooves with a soulful feel, born of
bluesy antecedents. Colin Cooper would surely have approved.
