Ralph de Jongh - Quantum 2LP Limited Edition BLUES

Limited Edition of 500 pieces!

„School“ is Ralph’s reminescence to the immoral Jim Morrison & The Doors. His canto in the first passage is melancholic and the music is perceptive-slow and utmost seductive. In the second his voice is exploding and his guitar artistry on fire. Starry extraterrestrial opus! By the consecutive „On The Rolling Wave“ he is hi-jacking you back to the good ole Woodstock era with a musical retro flair. His voice is powerful, freaked-out and his six-string lunacy is combining all ecstasy-styles of the axe-masters of the festival. These long-run titles will set devotees heart aflutter. By „Boy Boy Boy“ the first single of „Quantum“ De Jongh solicits as Ian Hunter by vocals and Mick Ronson on axe in personal union. „Heart School Lover“ is his personal ode to his pubertal fantasies. His beloved heart-lady Moon Anderson is spicin‘ it up by her soulfoul background-suffrage. Ralph is jammin‘ the Stones-style with his mates. „On The Dance Floor“ unites disco with funk-grooves. „Going Away To Stay“ is the heart-touching and loveable ballad culmination. „Old Country Road“ is a most poignantly mélange of country music with finest fingerpickin‘ six-string plays. By „Ease“ the master is the lord of the slide-bottleneck-magic the stirring delta-blues-style. „Angel“ is the heart-touching and warming ballad in love to all the divine loveables on earth and in heaven. Starry soulful grand-final!

Ron van Varik - Dutch Pop-photograper: Thursday night. Café Animo. The tables are a bit sticky, the beer is cold, and there is no setlist in sight.
In short: you can feel in your bones that this is going to be more than a pleasant evening.
And when Ralph de Jongh is also on stage, you know one thing for sure: something is happening here.

Ralph is no ordinary musician. He is a walking work of art, a blues beast in clogs, a musical shaman who seems to come straight from the Maas delta.
He plays songs that the Stones forgot to write—raw, sincere and with a rhythm that seems to come straight from his wooden shoes.
No gimmick, but pure antenna music.
You don't have to be a blues expert to feel: this is real.
This is delicious.
