The first release in our series of high-profile live recordings from the renowned anual 'Lucerne Blues Festival' in Switzerland. In November 1999 a band fronted by guitarist/singer Johnny Jones, and soul vocalist Charles Walker played two great shows. The nucleus of the band is formed by the ryhthm section of the Amazing Rhythm Aces, one of the best you can find in the South. Also in the band, guitarist/producer Fred James and vocalist Mary-Ann Brandon. Jones and Walker have been working together on and off for the last forty years. And this shows! Deep blues, shuffles and mid-tempo groovers along with a couple of tunes, '60s soul style. A great live record that we are very proud of, and hopefully the first in a long series. If you didn't have a chance to go, take this one home and enjoy a wonderful evening at Lucerne. JOHNNY JONES - gtr/voc, CHARLES WALKER - gtr, BILLY EARHEART - org, MARY-ANN BRANDON - voc, FRED JAMES - gtr, JEFF DAVIS - bass, ANDY ARROW - drum/
Volume 2 is a trip way down to Memphis as Johnny Jones and Charles Walker can really cook the blues meets soul stew. Both of them can sing and nail down every song they perform. Plus, their backing band is as soulful as it get, especially on churchy songs like “Strain On My Heart”. Not only the music is absolute high class but the sound quality, production values and packing also set high standards. I love this kind of live production, real concert played from the first song to the last one, no silence or fading. If there is something as good as being there in Lucerne, sitting in a first row and listening to the blues, this is it, “In The House”. 
This is the second volume of 'a series of high profile live recordings from the 'Lucerne Blues Festival' in Switzerland'. Recording quality is immaculate and the packaging borders on the lavisch. Some live albums are contract fillers, others are 'historical documents'. This one is damn good listening!
