The Rectifiers - The Rectifiers (1998)

In 1995, Luke and Jakke started working with Polle Eyckmans and Jo Van Nuffelen on real blues music. Stepping out of their Metal pants, they called themselves The Rectifiers, played many gigs and in 1998, recorded an excellent blues CD, simply called "The Rectifiers" (highlighted by the exceptional goose-flesh-getting “Luke’s Blues”). From the start, it's obvious that Polle Eyckmans has that whisky-soaked voice that fits so well within the blues world.  He's also a credible harmonica man dovetailing nicely with Luke Van Dessel on lead guitar. Some blues-rock leanings float to the surface and they just serve to toughen up the sound.  Grab your gonads and dig in!
