Louisiana "Guitar" Red – Live At The Blues Bouquet (1997)
The Blues Bouquet fue uno de los clubes nocturnos más representativos de Boise, Idaho. Comenzó siendo una taberna en 1902. En la época de la Prohibición (1916-1933) vendían helados en la parte baja del edificio mientras arriba se escondía el Havana Club. A principios de los 70 se traslada al edificio A. S. Tinner y es adquirido por los músicos Barney Southard, Ken Harris y Phil Garonzik, quienes lo convirtieron en el primer bar de blues de Boise.

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
