The current CD:Iin those days of synthesized Computermusic, homogenized Rock, remixes of remixes of retakes, etc decides the musical taste of human "honest roots-music" is a rewarding pleasure...
The slogan - acoustic blues and other related stuff - says all: not a blues-duo in a common way but a co-operation of two extraordinary musicians, each one with his own musical preferences and styles. Both came from Blues/Rock, so the main style of Harpattack is clear: Blues, Rock, Folk and Ballads...
The guitar is not only a accompanist, the harp is not only a solo-instrument. Cover-versions of Blues-Rock-standarts are reduced to the main things, the many compositions of their own define their sound: open, honestly, with great musical room to move and allways the roots in their mind!
With great respect to the "Masters of Blues/Rock" harpattack is performing songs like:
She caught the katy (T. Mahal / Y. Rachel), Rock me baby (R. King), Voodoo Chile (J. Hendrix); Rolin´and tumblin´, I just want to make love to you (M. Morganfield), Breaking up somebody´s home (Jackson, Mathews), Sad and deep as you (N. Mason), Room to move (J. Mayall),...
Their selfmade-compositions takes the feeling and mind of this songs and can stand every comparison with the hits named before. So their live-programm become a very personal, unique event.
