Keith Dunn and Klaas Wendling's debut album, "Love To See You Dance," presents a duo setup that is as stripped-down as it is sonically powerful: vocals (Keith Dunn – lead vocals, Klaas Wendling – backing vocals), harmonica (Keith Dunn), and double bass (Klaas Wendling). The twelve songs are deeply rooted in traditional blues while simultaneously bearing the characteristic swinging style of both artists.
Klaas Wendling blends downbeat and backbeat rhythms with just the double bass to create a full groove, providing a reliable rhythmic foundation for Keith Dunn's unique harmonica playing and vocals. Since his award-winning solo album *Alone With The Blues* (Deetone Records, 1998), Dunn has been considered a master of nuanced phrasing. On *Love To See You Dance*, he uses the harmonica as both a rhythm and melody instrument, producing a particularly captivating and well-rounded sound.
The album's songs – including five original compositions by Keith Dunn – range from traditional Chicago blues shuffle ("Deep In My Heart For You") and swing ("Boogie Woogie – I May Be Wrong") to rock 'n' roll energy ("Rock This House"). Contemporary social moods are also reflected in tracks like "Strange Land" and "Trouble Is Going On," which speak of uprooting, alienation, and loneliness.
