Mr. Fraser, we have decided to take your advice. With such a positive response from our Scottish blues brothers, Mr. Scott has written up a review of Vol. 1, which we are bumping up the calendar to run this week. So tell your friends to check it out on Friday. Clearly Scotland has the blues! BluesWax Editor Chip Eagle

Very happy to be included on this compilation of Scottish Blues. Honoured to be included alongside artists I have long admired and artists I have not heard before. I am sure I will bump into almost all of them as I tour around the 2013 Scottish Blues Festivals and now, hopefully further afield if some gigs come my way.
I am recording now and due to self release my first solo album in the spring (unless some deal appears out of the blue)so I look forward to getting on the road with it and getting more of my music out kicking and screaming into the light!!!
I see talented and undiscovered Scottish Blues artists all the time and this quality series of well put together compilations is a real eye opener for the world out there who have not had the opportunity to hear Scottish Blues.
Roll up Vol 3 !

As the writer and singer on the Wang Dang Delta track Shutting Out the World, I can assure you the band were also impressed by Alan Sutherland’s piano solo on the track. When we suggested to him that it sounded like he had been inspired by the playing of Chick Corea, Alan casually mentioned that during a performance at Telluride Festival a couple of years earlier, he had actually used Chick Corea’s piano during his band’s set. Must have rubbed off, eh?
The breadth of contributions from all the featured artists is exactly what persuaded us to participate in this project. In their own ways, all of the acts are pushing the boundaries and are to commended for it.
Roll on Volume 3.

This is an amazing venture by Nick/Duncan & everyone who is involved. Why did no one think of this before? There is so much talent in Scotland, as is shown by the quality of the bands on both c.d.’s! After receiving Vol.1 of JJJ & playing it non stop at home & on Alive Radio, we could’nt wait for Vol.2. We jumped at the chance of attending the launch of Vol.2 of JJJ in Edinburgh & were not disapointed. Mike has continued to play & promote JJJ on air, not because he has to, but because he wants everyone to hear what they are missing by not having both these c.d.’s & to realise that Blues music is funky,rocky,soulful etc, need I say more!
Keep up the good work guys! June & Mike Rogerson.

An excellent album. Some great tracks and not a single bad one. It stayed in my car CD player for two weeks after I got a copy.
