Dave Hole
Ticket To Chicago
The Story
Producer Bruce Iglauer, "With "Ticket To Chicago", Dave Hole has melded his amazing over-the-top (literally) slide guitar style and impassioned vocals with the deep blues feeling and superb musicianship of some of the Windy City's finest young bluesmen and most experienced veterans. Inspired by the energy and focus of his accompanists, Dave delivers his bluesiest album yet, and album that evokes the spirits of Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters and Albert King yet rocks just as hard as Dave's firey live shows and previous three albums. In his career, Hole has jammed with some of the best blues players in the world, absorbing al this experience into his own high-energy sound and style. "Ticket To Chicago" is Dave Hole's ultimate blues statement, one he's waited his whole life to make."
