Akarma is proud to present an all new album by this great American bluesman, loved now as ever by old and new fans alike. This time Dirk takes the stage with an all-new all-Italian line-up, to form one of the best contemporary blues bands out there, featuring killer axeman Roberto Formignani - whose forte lies in his ability to pull off amazingly complicated and creative solos - and an agile and robust rhythm section. Breathing new life into both original and cover material like Sonny Boy Williamson's "Help Me Baby", "I'm A Real Man" by John Hiatt, "Night Moves" by Bob Seger and an amazing version of "The Dark End Of The Street", which features the voice of renowned Italian rock star Graziano Romani, who as many are already aware, is a force to be reckoned with!
Dirk brings back best loved songs like "Learning To Love You", "All Loved Out", "Pavlova Shoes", "Only The Will To Survive", and many others. In the DVD you will also find many other bonus tracks, including an amazing "The Relative Health Of Your Soul Inside", one of Hamilton's standards and interesting cover of "Stand By Me". Don't miss this happy moment in the epic career of this great American blues man, who reveals here one of the most beautiful sides of contemporary blues.
