X-Three

X-three, it is 3 musicians of various origins which make the completely insane bet record an album in 3 days to make rediscover a musical genre become “alternate”, the Blues. Along 11 pieces of this eponymous album, Fred Lani, Willy Maze and R.C. Stock share a skinned Blues, alive, spontaneous, powerful,… Strong feelings without net. 3 days, 3 men, the result: instruments which breathe, of the intense moments, a great complicity… With the production, X-three and David Minjauw bet on a sound rough, live, hot and explosive. With listening, an impression of proximity emerges, the listener is “in” the band, “in” the live-room. The single, “Yew You Were A Queen” is an anachronistic anthem, with the antipodes of the licked and asepticized current productions. From a disproportionate passion for the Blues, from a steadfast will, touch of madness necessary to this kind of company, from all these circumstances was born the X-three project. And if the power and the spontaneousness of the blues constituted its major assets in this formatted musical world? Fred Lani, Willy Maze and R.C. Stock met on several occasions in various formations (Amazing Atomic All Stars Boogie Band, Six Happy Hands and the, the Moving Mop' S Blues Session), while concentrating on their principal projects (Fred and the Healers, Electric Kings, Last Cal,…). Today, they make a digression and launch out in this experimental blues project. “Willy Maze and R.C. Stock constitute one of the best rhythm sections blues of the world (...)”, dixit Alex Schultz. While Fred Lani delivers himself such as it is, and not such as one expects it. The 3 group members indeed concentrated on the groove and the emotion. The result is a very rough, coherent music and minimalist, instantaneous of the aspirations of the 3 musicians.
