October 2008 THE BLUES LIVES HEREAs you will probably now know, FINALLY the 3rd CD is out. YEAH!!! THE BLUES LIVES HERE By way of explanation, it's taken SO BLOODY LONG, because we actually had the CD In The Can about 6 months ago, but we weren't 100% happy. So Jeff went away for a few days, wrote 6 songs... 3 lousy ones and 3 great ones. So we went back into the studio, recorded the 3 great ones and now we're REAL happy and surely it wouldn't sound superficial to say that it's our best one yet?? no, I thought not!!! We haven't been playing as often of late, there's been a few major projects that we've been attending to, but they're finished and we're slowly getting back into the groove. Jeff intends to go to the U.S. in March next year to have a bit of a look around... One bit of good new, is that Anni Piper, who co-wrote the title song on the new CD has been signed in the U.S. with "Blues Leaf Records". So that's a nice leg up for us to enter their door and say "Hey I'm Anni's Producer, let's chat!!" We hope you LOVE our new CD - we do!!! Regards, The Shakedown Lads.
About the band...Mississippi Shakedown is a Band with a minimum of FUSS and a maximum of EFFECT. A 3-piece unit led by Blues Rock charged SLIDE GUITAR, with a “Don’t Bore Us, Get to the Chorus” attitude! With influence from the deep south, these guys have heart. This band was not created to play in a restaurant. Just take a listen to their current CDs, Mississippi Shakedown and Right Here Right Now with their 3rd CD "Gotta Get Lucky Sometime" almost ready for release - all original songs, with an original attitude. The band takes no prisoners on their journey to Shakedown an audience. Once seen, never forgotten, once heard always loved!!! Fronted by Mississippi Jeff Cripps, (well known owner of A# Sharp Recording Studio and 2002, 2003 and 2005 Australian Blues Music Awards' Producer Of The Year, with a dozen of his artists also having won Australian Blues Awards) on slide guitar and vocals. The band is driven by John Gannon on bass with Derek Smith on drums in the engine room!! With GRAND performances at the Goulburn, Thredbo, Launceston, Newcastle, Forth Valley and Davistown Blues Festivals, and sundry other gigs in Sydney, Perth, Tasmania, Canberra and the East Coast, it has been proven without a shadow of a doubt, Mississippi Shakedown never fails to please an audience, whether it be an audience of Blues Aficionados, or Joe Public… Mississippi Shakedown is the REAL DEAL!!!
