Blues & Rock music Ilija Capko's video: Blues Company - Cold Rain

From the Album: Vintage, Year of Release: 1995 Lyrics: Cold Rain Die Blues Company And those aren't just empty words. After all, the Blues Company from Osnabrück, Germany is neither a hodgepodge of rank beginners nor – to borrow business lingo – a group of new business starters. Rather, they are a team of artists who have made their mark, musicians with experience and know-how aplenty. The musicians at work here have long since ensured that the name of their “company” is a recognised “seal of approval”. In a nutshell, “Blues Company” stands for German's longest-running and most successful blues band. And with each new recording, with each concert, these pros underscore that their passionate love affair with the blues is burning brightly as ever. Since the '60s, the blues have inspired practically every generation of enthusiastic young, white musicians. Blues Company itself hasn't been around quite that long. The band started up its blues crusade on 20th May 1976. That was the day they first climbed on stage to fire up the audience into a twelve-bar frenzy. After countless other live missions, they proudly celebrated their first 30 years in the spring of 2006. The Company itself has demonstrated tremendous staying power - and Todor “Toscho” Todorovic, the band's co-founder as well as singer, guitarist, composer and sound freak makes sure of this. The bluesman was born in 1951 in Lingen, in the Emsland region of northern Germany. His parents, who were born in Yugoslavia and who had fled to West Germany after the Second World War, gave their son a variety of opportunities to expand his musical horizons. And what Toscho learned from them and from grand old men of the blues including B.B. King and Muddy Waters would one day become the lifeblood of “his” Blues Company. Toscho not only plays the blues, he lives and breathes them. Blues without compassion would be unthinkable. Thus for years the band's leader has organised benefit events both large and small in his adopted country. For his commitment to social concerns, the city of Osnabrück awarded him the Public Service Medal in 1993. And not only that: the fact that Germany's most tireless, ever-present and longest-lived blues band is also its most commercially successful is due to the superb quality of its studio recordings. Quite a few of its 20-odd albums are amongst the best-selling German blues recordings ever, including “Damn! Let's Jam” (1991), “Vintage” (1995), the Best Of “Blues, Ballads and Assorted Love Songs” (1997), “Invitation To The Blues” (2000) as well as “From Daybreak To Heartbreak” (2003), in collaboration with Scott Billington, the renowned US producer. With the CDs they purchase, their fans also honour Blues Company's non-purist approach to their music. The band thrives on change. “Blues is always changing – that's what keeps it alive” is their creed. And in this way they have cultivated an innovative, open-minded, free association with the Blues genre: Whether rock, soul or the New Orleans grove, it goes without saying that these are Bass, Organ [Hammond B 3], Vocals – Oliver Gee* Drum, Vocals – Martin Schmachtenberg Guitar, Bass, Backing Vocals, Slide Guitar [Slide-Guitar], Harmonica [Harp] – Mike Titre Guitar, Vocals – Todor "Toscho" Todorovic* Musician [Additional], Backing Vocals – Lisa Shaw Musician [Additional], Backing Vocals, Dobro, Percussion, Producer – Frank Diez Musician [Additional], Baritone Saxophone [Baritone Sax] – Thomas Zoller Musician [Additional], Electric Organ [Hammond B 3] – Wolfgang Roggenkamp Musician [Additional], Saxophone [Sax] – Charles Walker Musician [Additional], Saxophone [Sax], Harmonica [Harp] – Thomas Feldmann (2) You can download the music : https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Blues-Company/dp/B00000DDCN VIDEO COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: Video is made for entertainment purposes only and you can download this track on any authorized website such as, iTunes and Amazon.com...
