Black Cat Bone - Livin' On The Hog (1989)

Black Cat Bone is a Top Bluesband from Germany. They have performed throughout Germany for over 19 years. With a record of more than 2000 concerts they gained a large following and recognition as an excellent live-act. They worked with well-known blues artists such as Katie Webster, Luther Allison, Champion Jack Dupree and Louisiana Red and released seven highly recommended CD's of their own. Their recording 'Blue Shadows' featuring Chris Farlowe, Steve Baker and Sidney 'Guitar Crusher' Selby provides further evidence of their profesionalism and musical skill. Frontman and bandleader Hans-Joerg Mueller plays an outstanding guitar and is regarded as one of of the finest guitar players on this side of the pond.

From 1993 to 1996 Black Cat Bone toured throughout Europe with Guitar Crusher and recorded a highly-etimated CD featuring Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) and Calvin Owens (B.B.King's musical director). Most of the songs were written by Hans-Joerg Mueller and these compositions were the favourites of Alvin Lee and Calvin Owens. In 1995 Black Cat Bone got in touch with Mick Taylor (a former Rolling Stone) at a festival in Geneva, Switzerland, also sharing the stage with the legendary Wishbone Ash. Mick Taylor had always been one of Hans-Joerg Mueller's heroes, and a dream came true when Mr. Taylor said -yes- to a recording session in Germany for Black Cat Bone's new CD on which Mick Taylor also proves his unique virtuosity as a guitar player on five songs and is also featured as lead singer on Bob Dylan's 'Blind Willie McTell'. Black Cat Bone and Mick Taylor will be working together in the future both on stage and in the studio.
