专辑简介

Melbourne band, The Wolfe Gang, has released its new CD, What's Cooking, which captures the band's trademark ' feel-good blues' with energy, humour and style. Featuring guest appearances by Australian blues and roots greats Broderick Smith, Mick 'The Rev' O'Connor (Goanna, Vika & Linda, Chain, The Dingoes), Jimmie Sloggett (Max Merritt & The Meteors) and Steve Williams (John Farnham band), What's Cooking was recorded live at St Andrews Hotel by acclaimed sound engineer, Rob Harwood (Geoff Achison, Cyndi Boste). The 12 tracks include five originals in the Gang's upbeat and eclectic style — from the rolling New Orleans feel of the title track to the moody jazz of Overtake Me Baby, through to their country swing ode to the morning after the night before, Back In Old Down Town, and the Louis Jordan-inspired What's The Time Mrs Wolfe.

The band's fun vibe is also reflected in the original cover artwork by legendary rock artist Ian McCausland, who has designed album covers and posters for Daddy Cool, Broderick Smith and the Rolling Stones.

The Wolfe Gang bounded onto the Australian blues scene in 2003 with their debut CD, Coming Back For More. Led by vocalist, Diana Wolfe, the Gang members — Broc O’Connor (guitar), Roy Zedras (bass) and Peter 'Robbo' Robertson (drums) — share a love of the blues as well as decades of experience performing at festivals, touring, recording and supporting international acts including Van Morrison and the late Roy Orbison.

"The Wolfe Gang just keeps going from strength to strength… they create a great vibe, combining some tasty covers with an excellent repertoire of originals," said Rob Harwood. "They always have a great time and we always come out the other side energised and feeling better for the experience. This is a perfect recipe for a wonderful album."
