The truth is that unless your name is Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and John Pattitucci, and you spend jazz-fusion, it's really hard to find music that the bass take the lead or a lead instrument, and stressed, but if we speak up styles such as rock or especially the blues, the thing is almost nearly impossible.
But like everything in life, there are exceptions, and one of those exceptions is the British bassist Colin Hodgkinson was born in Peterborough, an October 14, 1945 .-
Hodgkinson began his career in 1966 in a trio of jazz-rock, through the "new Church" Alexis Korner's band in 1969. After that formed in 1971 the trio Back Door, along with Ron Aspery on keyboards and sax and Tony Hicks on drums, the band that ruled the roost in, and with whom he recorded several albums between 1972 and 1976, before their separation in 1977.

After this stage was devoted to working as a session musician. He moved to Germany, appearing in various formations of the Spencer Davis Group. Also at that time formed Electric blues duo with guitarist Frank Diez, published in 1998 the album "Lucky at cards." He also appeared in Disk Jon Lord 1999, "Pictured Within" and Chris Rea records .-
His latest work to date is "Backdoor too", 2008 .-
published in 1998 when this album was titled "The Bottom Line," which is basically a blues album but in which there is only electric bass and vocals, and I remember and / or knowledge, is perhaps the only blues album has been recorded in which this music is performed only with this instrument.
The record original compositions Hodgkinson alternate interpretations of blues classics like "32-20 Blues by Robert Johnson," San Francisco Bay Blues "by Jesse Fuller and The sliding delta of Mississippi John Hurt, as well as "All Blues" by Miles Davis .-
can that many of you this kind of "experiments" do not molen too, it is clear that those who played electric bass and cool us much, but hey, the fact is that the disc has a point, you Cojonudos moments, and at least deserves a listen, because the truth is that the friend Colin Hodgkinson ridicule it quite well .-
