PRESS QUOTES: “ this live-in-the-studio debut album of the "Limpin Express" shows the road they have chosen to follow with striking and innovative songs - with more songs like these and maybe another second album, it’s very likely they will make a breakthrough outside of Greece…” Eric Schuurmans, RootsTime magazine, NL – May 2013 “ this is a bold step for a band that’s been around for only two years. Late ‘60s rock meets the true blues tradition - a very carefully and well produced album with a power trio that plays in a way that, by no means makes you think they come from Greece” Dirk Föhrs, (chief editor) BluesNews magazine, DE – October 2013 “Now this band’s called Limpin Express. That’s L-I-M-P-I-N and E-X-P-R-E-S-S. I’m spelling down the name for you to write it down ‘cause this is definitely a keeper debut album you’re really going to enjoy” Tony Corner, (radio producer) I.B.B.A., UK – August 2013 Limpin Express is a rock & blues trio from Athens, Greece, which was formed on September 2011 by three young but experienced musicians. Each member has been playing professionally since their early twenties around 2004-05 and have collaborated, or been a member of the country’s top music acts. Throughout the years, as members of the “Express” or in bands before that, they’ ve appeared in almost every live club in the country and also in festivals around Europe (Vinilius Jazz Festival 2008- Lithuania, Bulldog Bash Festival 2006-Great Britain) but a time comes when one thinks it’ s time to stop being the sideman and create something yours instead. At first, some gigs were booked and along came the people’ s growing interest for their music. So, besides covers they decided to focus on their own songs and music. They started jamming and forming the material for their first album and finally recorded their acoustic set, on July 2012 and in November 2nd of the same year they got in the studio again to record the rest of the songs and mix the whole album. The album was mastered and finalized, by late November. Michael Dotson (sideman guitarist & singer for Willie Kent, Big Jack Johnson, Billy Boy Arnold and Homesick James to name a few) was a tutor to one of the band’ s members sometime ago and so he was called to take part as a guest and recorded one of his songs with the guys. Their debut consists of ten original tracks ranging from acoustic blues, with a New Orleans groove, to almost late ‘60s-early ‘70s hard rock styled songs and thus making it a bit more than just another strictly rock or blues album.
