BOOZOO BAJOU AND TONY JOE WHITE - Aspen Colorado - 10" - Vinyl

Up next was a warm 2004 summer night in Hamburg, Germany with the actual location being the backstage area of the Fabrik Club. Tony Joe White just left the stage after performing a breathtaking set looking back at his longlasting career which started in the late sixties. After speaking on the phone various times and exchanging ideas by email during the months before this is the first ever meeting in person. For the next few entertaining hours they enjoyed a few beers and the plan to work together was nailed down with all involved people having a smile on their faces when they left. With Keep Going the first outcome of their collaboration was going to see the light of day on the Boozoo Bajou album Dust My Broom released in 2005 on !K7.

Afterwards it took a 16 years long break before the second part of their joint recordings is going to appear on a limited edition 10inch Vinyl. Originally recorded back in 2005 it is a re-lick of Tony Joe White’s wonderful 1969 tune Aspen Colorado which was newly sung with additional blues harp and guitar by the man himself on a soulful laidback Boozoo Bajou beat. After the tragic death of Tony Joe White in October 2018 it was rather vague if this was going to happen but with the grateful help of his son Jody Boozoo Bajou can finally present this musical gem to the public.
