The first purely German-language album, "I love the Blues," is a cry for love! Hörbie Schmidt – singer, guitarist, lyricist, and composer – literally lets his pants down lyrically. The North German cult figure with the curly lion's mane offers a deep insight, reflection, and reflection into his emotional world and his love life. His warm, energetic, humorous, and profound voice speaks of lust and passion, of longing and dreams, of eroticism and desires between ambition and reality, of heaven and hell, and of hope and vision. Hörbie comments on and reflects on his eventful rock 'n' roll life in his lyrics – sometimes cheerful to ironic, sometimes dreamy to emotional, sometimes clear and direct. Singer Lili Czuya passionately sings two expressive songs in which she describes the death of her beloved father and processes it with plenty of blues and soul. The band's musicians are among the crème de la crème of the live music scene in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
The Hörbie Schmidt Band is characterized by a very unique style, characterized by the harmonious and virtuoso interplay between Sven Selle (piano, organ) and bandleader Hörbie Schmidt on guitar. This special tone gives the band its own special touch. This band is also a delight to hear live. The audience hangs on narrator Hörbie Schmidt's every word. His presentation is entertaining and educational infotainment on all things blues and love - full of charm, cheeky and lively - and always with a fresh (North German) breeze. The musical roots of the album lie in the legendary blues, which flirts heavily with its kids rock, pop, funk, jazz and swing and unites - entirely in the spirit of musical love. Hörbie Schmidt sings in the title song: "I love the blues, the blues is in and with me." In that spirit!
