Peter Schneider & The Stimulators - Voodoo Swing (1998)By Baxx
Baxx el amigo de kikas y ahora nuestro, nos envía este fantástico disco de una banda alemana que pocos conociamos. La voz del solista es acojonante y los músicos ahondan en la fusión del blues con ritmos calientes como el ska o el boogaloo. No lo hacen nada mal. Totalmente recomendable.

The Stimulators are a German band who do mostly their own material or completely remodel songs by other composers when they cover them. The six-piece band fuses Latin, Blues, Ska, Jazz, Reggae and Rock into a sound that is unique to the Stimulators. Most of it is highly danceable and groove-orientated music. Pop-song structures go right along with jazzy improvisations and a badass Rock and Roll attitude.

The band was founded in 1998 when guitarist and bandleader Peter Schneider returned from a one year stay in San Diego, California, where he had worked as guitarist for Ike Turner and carwash singer Ren Woods.
Right from the fist album, the band had a distinctive sound and that record (Voodoo Swing) got famous in high-end audio circles around the world. Between 1999 and 2007 the group has released 6 CDs and two DVDs. In 2003 and 2004 the band toured with James Brown in Europe, which got them wider recognition.
