Blues.The-Butcher-590213 - Feel Like Going Home (2023)

Blues the Butcher is one of Japan's leading blues bands, consisting of Takashi "Hotoke" Nagai (g/vo), Hisashi Numazawa (ds), Taku Chujo (b), and KOTEZ (hca/vo). This new album is their 10th album, including two albums with the late Monsieur Kamayatsu and James Gadson, and two albums with Utsu Yoshiko (ex-Mescaline Drive - Soul Flower Union) as a guest. The theme of this album is Muddy Waters, the origin of Nagai's blues. Muddy Waters was the first bluesman Nagai fell in love with. He is the creator of the Chicago band Blues, which has greatly influenced the Rolling Stones and other musicians around the world. Blues the Butcher has often featured Muddy Waters' music, but this time we are going all out with Muddy Waters' numbers. This new album is almost entirely Muddy numbers.
