It's finally here: the fourth album by Regensburg-based Southern blues rockers 3 Dayz Whizkey. A lot has happened since their last studio album, "Steam" (2014). But the band has matured like a fine wine and, like the buzzard on the cover, has everything firmly under control again.
With the addition of keys, the sound spectrum expanded, making the rock even more thunderous, the blues even more wailing, and the country sounding broad like a western film. The record almost didn't come about. Unsatisfied with the initial recordings more than two years ago, songwriter Copperfield scrapped everything and put it on ice. Half of the songs were rewritten, ultimately leading to the Common Buzzard Blues Session in November 2018. A bird of prey that circled the Copperfield Ranch during songwriting gave the album its name. Sometimes it can be so simple: all the musicians in one room and press record. Lengthy overdub sessions were deliberately avoided. A large part of it was recorded in just three takes. Unusual and old-fashioned, but powerful.
