In 1971 Benno was called on by psychedelic rock greats The Doors, who were looking for someone to play a bluesy, Texas styled guitar on the sessions…
The party starts as soon as you look at the cover of the new CD from Roomful Of Blues. Come to think of it, I think I voted for this cover design on the Alligator Records Facebook page a few months ago. Hook, Line & Sinker is an assortment of twelve songs from the likes of Little Richard, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Floyd Dixon and others.
