They don't come from Texas, haven't worked the cotton fields and they're not black, but these four German musicians have the blues nevertheless. And have had the blues for over five years. It's already been a long journey for Dr. Blues & The Hip Replacements. Thore Benz (bass) and Martin Schmidt (guitar) have had a goal since 1995: get on stage and play live! They done it extensively over the past five years: in clubs, at city celebrations, at open air festivals - their music was heard and left the public inspired. In the year 2000 their CD The Return Of Dr. Blues was released, consisting of all original material. Guitarist Martin Schmidt has played on various soul, surf and jazz albums, as well as his own solo material, including "The Blues & Some Other Stuff" and "The Incredible Strange Sounds Of Mr. Smith". Be sure not to miss Schmidt's amazing showcase instrumental on this album - "Bulldozer". Blues/Rock, total running time, 43:33
