The road to the heart isn't marked on any map, and it's not easy to find on Google either. "Just get on the road and see where it takes you" is the solution Get The Cat offers to this problem on their new album. That's exactly how they approached it.
After a change in lineup and a maternity leave, they met in the studio and recorded 12 songs in a three-day session with guest Gero Körner. The result is 60 minutes of music full of joy and musical ability. 60 minutes that will go straight to your heart. Paving the way is the warm voice of Melanie Bartsch, whose charm no one can resist. She is carried and accompanied, guided and led by Jens Filser's magical guitar playing. Both as an accompanist and as a soloist, he impresses with his virtuosity and taste. The exceptional guitarist of the German blues scene unfolds his full talent in this band. The climax of the encounter is the duet, "Proove Me Wrong," in which Jens Filser also impresses as a singer. The path is smoothed by the earthy rhythm work of drummer Bernd Oppel and bassist Till Brandt.
Whether the road leads to New Orleans, Memphis, or California, the two roll out the asphalt so skillfully that every verse, every solo, every fill comes across beautifully. The 12 songs on the CD were all written by bassist Till Brandt. It quickly becomes clear: the path to the heart leads through the blues. From the classic slow 12-bar to rock sounds to the jazzy final ballad, the blues always shines through. Get the Cat is a 21st-century blues band that processes and incorporates many influences.
Surprising things happen when Get The Cat gathers soul and rock & roll together under the leadership of their founding father, the blues. Modern yet traditional, full of surprises yet familiar, the band presents itself and immediately plays its way into the hearts of lovers of the blue tones.
