"For the past several years, Cuby and the Blizzards have been created delightful havoc in Holland through their straight-on approach to the blues.They are responsible for a continuing series of hit albums (and, would you believe it, singles too!) in Holland.

Recently, word of this incredible group of performers has been seeping through the Dutch dikes. In addition to their exciting appearance in Holland and Germany, England is fast coming under the spell of blues by Cuby. We expect that the U.S. will shortly be invaded by these Dutch Blues wizards.

Why, oh why is Cuby and his crew reaching so many people with the blues? Certainly, because this group has come to know and understand real blues music, realy get into it, and most importantly, communicate the blues to others. Cuby sings in Enlish, but the way he sings, one hardly cares what language it is, fot his sense of timing and feeling call a responce from listeners everywhere.

Al this (perhaps maybe more, certainly no less) lies in the grooves of this recording. If the thought of a Dutch blues group cuts no ice with you - give yourself a chance - listen. Have your ice cut. your ears turned-on, and your soul satisfied."

this compilation contains songs from the "Groeten uit Grollo" and "Trippin thru' a midnight blues" album.
4 tracks "King of the world", "No shoes", "Big Blue-eyed girl" and "Goin' home" were dubbed with horns and remixed at the New York Mercury-studios.
