My Time has 11 songs, some of which are renderings of Nico
Wayne Toussaint (Walking down College
Street), The Meters (Life Wire),
Jimmy Rogers (That’s All Right) and
Albert Collins (If you love me like you
say). But although one might be sticking one’s neck out, what is really
attractive about this disc are Iker Piris’ compositions, authentic blues,
gospel and r&b pieces played really well with the help of Paul San Martin on
the piano (Stay Blues). We’ve already mentioned I’m Worried, but there are additional outstanding items on this
disc. That is the case of the lovely ballad You
make me feel so fine (in which Fredi Pelaez collaborates on his Hammond);
the rock & roll full of swing of If you
are my friend; Baby, I’m sorry
could pass as a blues classic; and Mamma,
come back home, a gospel piece full of beauty and emotion. The disc ends
with J.J. Country, a fun tribute to
J. J. Cale.
The disc was recorded at the Pottoko studios under the
technical direction of Fredi Pelaez, who also collaborates with the Hammond
organ.
The Romanticos have already had the chance to play at
the Donostia-San Sebastian Jazzaldia, the blues festival of Getxo, the blues
festival of Tolosa, and the jazz festival of Parla (Madrid), and it has
accompanied the singer Sheila Cuffy in several concerts.
My Time is the sound of Iker Piris, the first stop on his
personal quest.
Hear: I´m Worried
