Released on 2nd June 2023 out on Blue Crawfish Records / Ipojuke records. The title of the album refers to the recordings made with few resources, since Joanatan is a music producer he decided to record in the DIY concept, even before the pandemic he started the composition and recording process, which lasted until recently. All this with a lot of inspiration and creativity with musical ingredients that gave even more consistency to what is expected from the blues, in addition to ingredients such as rock, soul, cajun, boogie, and other elements, which have already made great albums of the genre famous in the world.
Joanatan, who was already a fan of Elvis Presley and the rock n roll of the 1950s, has his first direct contact with blues while still a teenager when he brought his first blues record in the early 1990s.Around the same time, he discovered the LP “Still Got The Blues” by Gary Moore and names sush as Ronnie Earl, Buddy Guy, Albert King and Otis Rush forming the quintessence of Joanatan Richard’s blues influences.
