The Galician blues band Miki Nevio and the Bluesmakers, who got together more than 20 years ago, this year released their fifth album, entitled Let the Old Times Roll. The album includes sixteen songs, from traditional spirituals (Swing Low, Sweet Chariot) and blues classics (I Can't Be Satisfied) to new tunes by Miki and company, such as Don't You Know, featuring the harmonica of guest artist Ñaco Goñi. With suggestive stage names like Rafa Mississippi, Slim Slide Louis and Washboard Plof, Miki Nervio & the Bluesmakers deliver a solid, varied, and well-produced album of blues and rhythm'n'blues that makes it clear why they are practically a musical institution in the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia.
