Jon Ivar Reitan (Johnny) and Geir Hansen (Bacon), the Dockery Dawgs, have been working musicians in the Trondheim/north area of Norway for a number of years. The blues scene like the folk scene is strong in Norway (they overlap, and the Norwegians aren't real doctrinaire about labels). While this is the Dawgs first CD, they weren't naive about what they were doing and planned out things very strongly. And then let inspiration strike a bit during recording. I really like the crazy one string diddly bo they made and used to get the zzwangggg sounds on a couple of tracks. And "Retribution Blues" is about as unforgiving a blues song as there is.
