Candye Kane was born in 1965 in a suburb of Los Angeles, so she was born six years after me is a true original in the new blues, called the Jump Blues. A cheerful sympathetic woman standing with both feet on the ground. Iridescent like a bird of paradise, an idiosyncratic singer, bandleader and composer. Her style mixes traditional and new elements of the blues, is often contagious fast-paced, the mitwippen, but now and then also classical melankolisch. Instrumental in the foreground is your power voice and ravishing Piano Bar. Guitar, saxophone or trumpet are inserted unerringly. None of your music falls qualitatively. Your albums are put together tasteful, varied and have a pleasant tension. I hear them by always complete and with each listen to their CDs and more invite you to dance or sing a. Yes, I am an absolute fan of Candye and had ever lucky enough one - to experience long appearance in Gelsenkirchen live - unfortunately much too short. In a tiny club, the coop. She stood beside me at the bar and has - guess what! - Ne Coke ordered.
Their live shows and your texts enjoy cult status: They contain a lot of humor, and a dose of sex and innuendo. The Blues Diva sets with powerful voice aware of their considerable body mass, especially your "BIG boops" one with whom you sometimes even play the piano. Their clothes are colorful and diagonally. They even considers himself a "thick black drag queen in the body of a white woman." That fits!
Currently presents Candye Kane in your band with the guitarist Laura Chavez an absolute Ausnahmekönnerin. She has just released a new CD, "Sister Vagabond". The album features guest star in accordance with this a little more guitar Pats than usual, but is anything but guitar heavy. Candyes penultimate CD - "Superhero" - is one of the best contemporary blues CDs of 2010.
But back to Burlesque Swing, an album that really should not be published. It shows a part of the musical beginning of her career and was recorded live in the "Belly Up" tavern at the beginning of the 90s. At the time Candye got her first contract with Antone's Records. The album was recorded with the Swingin 'Armadillos consisting of Sue Palmer, the Candye has accompanied at every CD on piano, Steve Wilcox at the solo guitar, Greg Willis, Chris Klich, April West and Tyler Buckley.
The individual tracks on the album are:

The style of these early recording runs like a red thread through all of your albums to date. One could say, if you know an album of your, you know them all. In a positive sense that is correct. They remain faithful to their style, yet you are not repeated and never feels boring. I'm addicted to your music and always want more of it. Want to get it?
