09022014 - Hot Tuna "Hoppkorv"

Why on earth would a non-Swedish speaking band call their album "Hoppkorv" (jumping sausage)? In Jefferson Airplane spin-off band Hot Tuna's case the answer would be "Why not?" Because on this, their seventh album, they did. This band has existed in various forms since 1969, with the core members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen remaining steady members all the time. Starting out as mainly a blues standard covers band, this album contains four Kaukonen originals as well. The recipe remains rocking electrified blues, that doesn't even try to break new ground, but delivers steadily and should satisfy anyone with a craving for foot stomping blooze!
