REVIEW
"Legendární hrdina" Chuck E. Weiss, spoluhráč bluesmanů Lightnin' Hopkinse, Willieho Dixona, Muddyho Waterse a kumpán Toma Waitse, vydal po osmnáctileté pauze album "Extremely Cool". Charakterizovat hudbu muže, o němž se Willie Dixon vyjádřil, že "tenhle židovskej kluk s velkou hlavou fakt umí hrát blues", není jednoduché. Kdo však nechápe blues jen formálně jako "dvanáctky", bude s Dixonovým výrokem zajisté souhlasit.
