An exciting album the UK's Queen of the blues, Zoe Schwarz and the Commotions. Featuring her vocals alongside the great guitarist, Rob Koral, with Pete Whittaker on Hammond and Paul Robinson on drums and percussion. 'Blue Commotion is a breath of fresh air on a contemporary music scene too often dominated by image, the bottom line and the need for an instant hook. They refresh the blues genre with mostly self penned material, hugely original arrangements, virtuosic playing and of course Zoe Schwarz's majestic vocal sweep and interpretive ability.'This Is the Life I Choose' proudly confirms them as an independent band who stand proudly above the cut and thrust of the 'music biz' and pursue their muse with real vitality and passion. They rock, they groove, they swing, they jam, and always make an essential meaningful connection with their free spirited approach. Some people call it blues, the band would probably settle for just damn fine music ' Pete Feenstra/ Features Editor Get Ready To Rock
