Lucky Wüthrich - Steady (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"He is 25 years old - and he has the blues in his heart. In the soul. In the voice. And right down to the fingertips playing the guitar like there's no tomorrow. No yesterday. Just this moment, right now. This is Lucky Wüthrich. The voice of a new blues generation. At the age of 13, he stood for the first time on the stage of the cult restaurant Cafe Bar Mokka in his hometown of Thun – in the audience a certain Philipp Fankhauser. His comment: "He touched people. And for me it was clear – this boy has music in his blood." A good decade later, Fankhauser signed him with his label Funk House Blues Productions. The up-and-coming Thun blues musician in a team with the seasoned Thun blues musician, who also released his first album at the age of 25 32 years ago: a circle closes.

So now it's coming soon, Lucky Wüthrich's debut. It's called "Steady". And it shows Lucky Wüthrich's independence and versatility in 12 original compositions and a Fankhauser track. His deep-under-the-skin vocals, his amazing, devoted guitar playing. They are songs that take you by the hand and on a journey. Snappy songs that tear with and from the chair. Silent songs that touch and seduce. Funky, raw, with a lot of soul. With a formidable band, cheeky wind movements, soulful backing vocals. With a lot of dynamism, ingenuity and yes, authenticity. This word, which is so often so badly stressed in the music business, is much more than a mere phrase here.

"I'm as proud as a Güggel," says Fankhauser, who produced the work together with Marco Jencarelli and sings the track "Talking About Them Blues" with Lucky. "I got to do, what I got do", Lucky Wüthrich explains in the opening track "I Wanna Play My Blues". He has to do what he has to do. Feel the blues, internalize, play, live. Right now, at this moment!
