The music of Black River Bluesman is hardly conventional. His first encounter with the blues was also contradictory. “One of my early favorites was Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Looking for Somebody’. I listened to it on tape over and over again, not understanding if it was music at all,” Jukka recalled in an interview with Roots. “Blues was marginal music in the 60s and 70s - there was something genuinely rebellious about it, and so it was perfect for a teenage boy who was skeptical of everything mainstream,” Juhola adds. Juhola has a lot of favorite artists, but he agrees to mention John Lee Hooker and R.L. Burnside in particular.
“In the early days, blues played a central social role, the whole genre of music was born from it,” Jukka outlined in an interview with the Italian radio station Mojo Station a couple of weeks ago. He believes that blues, like many other genres of music, is largely a white folk scene today.
The Cockroach Combo, which accompanies guitarist-singer Juhola, currently consists of Esa Santonen (drums), Jussi Konttinen (baritone guitar) and Juha Lindgren (harmonica). Jukka describes that the mainstream twelve-bar music is not heard in their work, but rather the music is rough, hypnotic and electric blues.
“We play everything with feeling, hoping that our sincerity will arouse emotions in the recipient. In my opinion, blues is at its best when you don’t actually perform a very long and well-written piece, but a song is born and it only exists at the moment of performance,” Jukka says.
BRB & CC’s sound has changed as the group has learned to better use the possibilities offered by the baritone guitar. Jukka describes: “Sometimes you can play riffs from high up - even in unison with the guitar - and then come back down to bounce with the bass drum.”
Jukka is quite enigmatic about the line-up’s upcoming album. He agrees to reveal that at least some slide playing will be heard. He promises that the new album will feature a completely new kind of blues on at least a few songs. “But of course we’ll stay with the roots of the blues, the muddy swamps. The atmosphere, on the other hand, is even more caveman-like!”
Black River Bluesman’s album “Ants in My Kitchen” (2005) attracted a lot of international attention. Among others, the British magazine Blues Matters! did an extensive article on the subject. BRB was also the band of the month in January by the prestigious Swedish publication Jefferson Blues Magazine.
