Behind the name Cat Squirrel lies a group of Iberian blues ‘pistolleros’ fronted by a pure English blues legend: none other than the immense Mike Vernon. Creator of the Blue Horizon label in the 60s, discoverer/producer/collaborator (take your pick) of some major projects like John Mayall’s legendary Bluesbreakers album, Fleetwood Mac’s very first album or David Bowie’s first recordings, our man has a CV as long as the meanders of the Thames. In short, he knows the blues, and not just a little! And listening to the album ‘Blues What Am’ confirms this beyond any doubt.My plan had always been to search for a well-known and respected distributor that would be sympathetic to our needs at all levels – the French-based DixieFrog label was my first choice. Their immediate reaction was very enthusiastic and so we moved toward the required negotiations – no round pegs in square holes please! Take a not so giant step into early 2023 and we found ourselves in a position to firm up a release schedule. To ensure that there would be sufficient time to plan a comfortable official release date we all agreed to relax whilst working toward the date 6th October 2023. So, you might ask, what have we been doing whilst time has been flying past? Well, you might have noticed that we´ve been busy creating five videos that have been posted online under the headline “Blues Memories” – the current one featuring our version of ´Roll & Tumble Blues´. Well, any moment now there will be a new one – our re-working of Billy Boy Arnold´s Chicago classic ´I Wish You Would´.
