Bluesnake - Serpent Stories (2018)


                                                                       Bluesnake

 Bluesnake from Turku, Lithuania, has been together for three years.

The first album came out in early 2018. The material was canned

as a studio live without auto-feel and other gimmicks.


The band announces that they play a lot of blues standards, but always with modern

with grip, sound and attitude. The debut album contains a pleasing amount

original material. Of the nine songs, all are their own except

an electrified version of Robert Johnson’s piece “Me and the Devil”.


“While the streaming trend is growing, we wanted to make a physical disk that can

takes the music shelf over and over again, ”the band says in the cover texts.

Robert Lumme (guitar and vocals), Marco Boogieman will play on the Bluesnake

(bass) and Mika Veijalainen (drums).

“Serpent Stories” represents Bluesnaken well

policies. The effect of role models is heard. “Happy

The Blues ”effortlessly reminds me of Stevie Ray

Vaughan and “Love That Woman” Otis

Rushin. Also riff - driven blues rock and

the soul-rolling songs work

quite nicely, without surprises.


Of course, there is also unique material.

The opening song “Everyday” runs in an exciting,

in a lingering mood. Lumpeen

the guitar sound appeals, and the man doesn’t oppress too much

to order. The band also has a message:

the text deals with the evil of the world; if

this place wants better, is the best

start by looking in the mirror.


At the other end of the album “Everyone Loses”

creates a subtle atmosphere, like something

waiting for the inevitable. And human

the limitations of worldly trek lyrics

I wonder. “Put your hand in mine, tick tock

we’re drifting away; You’re just a guest

here, can’t stay, no one can. ”


That's how Lumme works

as a solo guitarist, singer, composer as

as a record producer. Singer and English


as a speaker he is not at his best (the same can be said for quite a few

Finnish artist), but the author is involved. Boogieman and Veijalainen

take care of their boxes with confidence. Veijalainen also wrote the songs

lyrics.


Bluesnaken's gig calendar is rare. There would be a lot of money and a need for densification.

Following the lyrics of the song “Everyday,” the blues snake could crawl

moving forward slowly and in stages, through local popularity. If work ethic

whispers and the inner circle likes, the doors will soon open to even bigger gigs.
