"I live less than 10 kilometers from where Cuby lives these days so of course my review could be seen as a bit biased but let me tell you that I can still remember the first time I heard "Distant Smile"! Living in Assen I had heard of Cuby & The Blizzards, even saw him from a distance so every now and them but I had never heard their music. That changed when I visited a friend and while going through his CD collection I stumbled upon a compilation CD. He was glad to put it in the player and it blew my mind. I still remember asking him: Is this Cuby & The Blizzards? Are you sure? It was so good I that I took the CD out of the player to confirm that it was really Cuby & The Blizzards!
Harry Muskee (alias Cuby) has worked with blues people like John Mayall, Eddy Boyd and Van Morrison. He's heavily influenced by John Lee Hooker. Just get this CD and listen to it. You'll be amazed."
