Early 2002 marked the time for the Rotterdam-based blues band, The Nervous Fellas, to record their third album, Nervous Breakdown. As I had not heard any of their previous material, I could not draw any comparisons, but this album was a very pleasant surprise. To start with a number of originals, always highly appreciated, are J. de Roos' authentic harmonica sounds in the dynamic "Reed Rocker," the energizing jungle beat of "Surtogo," in which drummer Rene Klein seems to be having the time of his life, and the highly contagious "Nervous Breakdown," a certified toe tapper. For covers, The Nervous Fellas chose lesser-known material by artists like Jerry McCain, Chuck Higgins and Cecil Gant. Louis Thomas Watts' "The Wolf Pack," is pleasantly crazy, with its poignant "wolf calls." My personal favorite is John Estes' "Whatcha Doin' ," a beautiful slide tune. Although quite a lot of tunes are going to appeal to the harmonica freaks, Arie Verhoef supplies more than solid fretwork, assisted by Andre Prins' no-nonsense bass lines. The album is dedicated to 'fella' musicians that departed this earth much to soon and were part of their musical growth. These guys know what the blues are supposed to sound like, played straight from the heart!!! For info: Nervous Breakdown / Big Beat Records / BBNF0102, www.geocities.com/nervousfellas.
