Robin Yzerman | the Netherlands | recorded in Drenthe, September 2020 I found Robin's music when I was looking through Timo de Jong's repertoir. She has such an amazingly clear, beautifull and subtle voice I knew I wanted to record her for the sessions as well. Recorded on a windy and wet afternoon in August, here is Robin Yzerman's original the Wild One. Subscribe to this channel or Like the World Wild Bunch on Facebook to stay up-to-date.

Timo de Jong | the Netherlands | recorded in Drenthe, September 2020 The first time I saw Timo play was as the support act for Lou Shields in Lola050, Groningen. I recorded Lou that evening and promised myself I would contact Timo as soon as possible for his classic voice and stage appearance got to me right away. I am happy that even during covid-19 we were able to record this new World Wild Bunch Session. Of his cassette, the 'Intimite Isolation Tapes', here is Timo de Jong's original 'Kenneth Copeland'.

Timo de Jong | the Netherlands | recorded in Drenthe, September 2020 Another original of Timo's 'Intimite Isolation Tapes'. 'We're all gonna die' is a somewhat dark take on our future wrapped up in a catchy sing-a-long. I've got to say it was quite something during his last show I was at, to hear all of the audience sing along and smiling away. Well done Timo.

Eric Hughes | Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.A. | recorded in Block & Barrels, Groningen, September 2019 Eric was the first musician that I recorded in the U.S.A. A few years back I was travelling around New Orleans, Memphis and Nashille with a friend and found this amazing blues man playing in the Rum Boogie Cafe on Baele street, Memphis. For one of his videos back in 2017 I wrote: "Sitting down with a beer in the Rum Boogie Café on Beale street, air thick with cigarette smoke, we fell in love with a bit of music. Eric Hughes and his band made our night." And it still does. Here is Eric Hughes's version of Robert Johnson's 'Sweet home Chicago'.

Eric Hughes | Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.A. | recorded in Block & Barrels, Groningen, September 2019 Eric's music has been a huge inspiration for the continuance of the World Wild Bunch Sessions.

Marshall Okell | Ballina, New South Wales, Australia | recorded in bar SMOKE, Groningen, September 2019 I Met him a few years ago when I was travelling Australia and recorded him then on the beach close to his home. When I saw he was doing a tour in germany with his good friends (and amazing duo) the Hussy Hicks, I asked them to come and play a gig in SMOKE along the way. Which they did! An amazing night in September and a second chance to record one of Asutralia's best blues players. This time on my homesoil, here is Marshall Okell with his original 'Magpie Blues'.

Hussy Hicks | East Coast, Australia | recorded in bar SMOKE, Groningen, September 2019 I obviously had to watch this video often while editing it and the end of their song always made me stop whatever I was doing and listen and be blown away by the powerfull voice of Leesa Gentz and then smile at the interaction she has with amazing guitar player Julz Parker. I had a beautifull night with them and Marshall Okell, who came along on their tour for a bit, and am more than enthusiastic that I was introduced to their beautifull music. Here is a relatively new song by this wonderfull duo: Take a look over'. Subscribe to this channel or Like the World Wild Bunch on Facebook to stay up-to-date.

The Black Ravens | Groningen, The Netherlands | recorded in bar SMOKE, Groningen, May 2019 I was lucky enough to see these boys perform as support act for the beautiful Georgina Peach and the Savoys in the EM2 here in Groningen.
