Cant Go Home

King of the World quot;KingoftheWorldquot; is a new blues 'n rootsbased group from the Netherlands. In september 2011 the legendary dutch bluesband quot;Cuby & the Blizzardsquot; ceased to exist because of the death of it's frontman Harry quot;Cubyquot; Muskee. Erwin Java, who was their leadguitarplayer for some 25 years, decided to form a new band together with drummer Fokke de Jong ( known from the dutch dialectrockband quot;Normaalquot; ). The latter had played with several dutch bluestalents and came up with bassplayer/singer Ruud Weber ( also known for his work with Snowy White) and hammond/keyboardplayer Govert van der Kolm (who played with such outstanding artist as CocoMontoya,Matt Schofield, Dede Priest, Sue Foley amongst others).These four gentlemen started out gigging as quot;KingoftheWorldquot; ( named after a song by J L Hooker and refereing to BB King,Albert King and Freddie King) in march 2012 and the audiences were overwhelmed by the bands' power,enthusiasm and intensity. What gives the sound of the group a special flavor aside from the personal instrumental skills, are the 3 part harmonyvoices.
