Details: After being the best-kept secret within the heavy side of blues rock, as part of the "closed" blues scene for two decades, the band is now moving to Mighty Music and finally getting the recognition they deserve. "Scars To Remember" is the tenth album from the Danish-based blues power trio, which has it's stylistic roots in the late '60s and '70s, with inspiration from bands/artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and others. Formed more than two decades ago and having played countless shows in those years, Blindstone hit it hard in the US, due to their sound, and released most of their albums on the American label Grooveyard Records. Despite the long run, the band saw a turning point in their career when, in 2020, they were hired as the backing band for the blues legend Walter Trout, for a series of successful concerts around Denmark. This experience was a factor in inspiring the band to seek a slightly more direct and basic stylistic approach on their new album. The blues influence is particularly obvious in songs such as"Down For The Count", "Waste Your Time" and "World Weary Blues". Blindstone has always worn it's influences on it's sleeves, and "Scars To Remember" does indeed contain obvious tips of the hat to influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Trout, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Gales, Jeff Healey, and others.
