Doc Span’s new recording, ‘Live in Australia’, features the talents of stunning musicians of the blues, Gus Fenwick, Tim Gaze, Max Sportelli, and Glen Muirhead. Recorded live in the studio by Gus Fenwick and mastered by Daniel Fournier these 11 standout tracks are chock full of groove. Originals and classic blues tracks, this CD takes Doc back to his roots.

“Live in Australia” includes some of Doc’s favorite tracks,  like 'If you See Kay', 'It Ain’t Right' and 'Whose Been Talking' (song by Tim). It features an electric version of the swinging Doc and Ross Jive 4321 plus other original tracks; The Viper Blues, Underground Blues, Red Dust, In Every Way and a classic acoustic song from Tim Gaze, Slow Walkin Blues. Every track shows off some expert blues playing.

This is a warm live CD that has tasty chromatic and diatonic harmonica, electric guitar, piano, organ, bass and tight drumming. The tracks that inspired Doc in Chicago, songs from Little Walter, Howlin Wolf, Memphis Slim and Pinetop Perkins, are all played and sung with conviction and the obvious expertise of these seasoned pros.

Songs from those albums have been receiving high rotation airplay on the ABC and Triple A’s ‘Blues with a Feeling’ broadcaster, Shaun Bindley.

Artwork for the album was done by Lisa Moore who is as talented as her famous photographer father, David Moore. She is a Sydney designer who has carved a career in corporate design www.lisamooredesign.com
