Cuby & the Blizzards was the most important bluesgroup of the Netherlands in the sixties. They were popular throughout Europe. Cuby worked with John Mayal, Alexis Corner and Eddy Boyd, to name only a few. Cuby had a big following and made several records. Early '70's the band broke up. Cuby went his own way as blues&funksinger Harry Muskee. In the '90's Cuby & the Blizzards reunited. The famous & excellent guitarplayer Eelco Gelling however stayed at home and was replaced by Erwin Java. The cd 'Travelling with the blues' is a live-record wich contains songs from the early cuby-days as well as newer songs Muskee recorded in the 70's & 80's. The six piece band is here in fine shape and is being accompanied by a good horn-section. The ongoing mission of Cuby to bring the blues to the Dutch audience is well succeeded with this record. Inbetween was a new studio-cd 'Dancing Bear', a compilation 'Blues Traveller' & a brand new cd 'Hotel Grolloo' released. (Amazon)
