HANS is probably Europe‘s No. 1 blues export, with 20 albums, a DVD and a guitar instruction DVD to his name – constantly on tour and delighting audiences around the world with his rich and emotional sounds.

 

Terry has done several albums under his own name and has a long working relationship with Ry Cooder as a backing singer. Terry‘s voice is pure “Mississippi Magic” – the real deal and one of the most soulful voices in the business.

 

Both bluesmen have worked together in the past and for years had a vision of combining forces for a stripped down duo recording. In December 2007 they got together in L.A. to do just that. Within two days they recorded a soulful album of original songs and soul-blues classics. The album has an intimate feel and obviously they were having a great time making music together.

 

Both Hans and Terry have a reputation for superb recordings and -VISIONS will once again delight even the most discerning hi-fi fan with a fantastic sonic experience.

Bo Diddley (spoken comment) 

 

"We recorded Bo Diddley's hit "Can't Judge A Book By it's Cover" - after the session I went to visit Bo at his home in Florida," Hans Theessink explains.  "He  liked our version and commented on it - most likely Bo's last public appearance. I toured quite a bit with Bo during the '80s - a friend, musical heavyweight and innovator - he'll be sorely missed."
