STARTING WITH THE FIRST TRACK WE GET ORIGINALITY FROM DCG, NOT JUST COMPLIMENTS TO JIMI. THE "BINGO GAME" MELODY IS PLAYED IN A HUMOROUS, AVANT-GARDE FASHION AND IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT TO BE MISSED. ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE A BRAINLESS NEANDERTHAL FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF URANUS CIRCA -2000 BC TO NOT THINK THIS IS NOT JUST A GOOD RECORD, BUT A GREAT ONE!!!! MORE POWER TO DUCKS CAN GROOVE - THEY MAY BE DUCKS - SWEDISH ONES AT THAT, BUT MAN, CAN THEY THROW DOWN A NASTY, EBULLIENT GROOVE!!!! MUSIC LOVERS, ENJOY! - LARRY CORYELL (MAY 2012)
IMAGINE IF JIMI HENDRIX HAD SURVIVED INTO THE 21ST CENTURY AND GOTTEN INTO YOGA AND MEDITATION. MOREOVER, IMAGINE IF HE STARTED EXPERIMENTING WITH GROOVE/BEAT'N JAZZ IN A CONTEMPORARY AND SENSUAL WAY. PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER, AND QUITE A BIT MORE, AND YOU WOULD GET A HINT OF WHAT DUCKS CAN GROOVE IS UNLEASHING ON THIS CD. STEFAN EDFELDT'S HENDRIX-SOAKED GUITAR LEADS THE WAY THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL SONIC LANDSCAPES THAT CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION, SERVING TO AT ONCE CALM THE NERVES AND TITILLATE THE SOUL. A MUST LISTEN FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN 70S GUITAR VIRTUOSO MUSIC MIXED WITH PROGRESSIVE, THOUGHT-PROVOKING BLUES RIFFS. UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!! - STEVE ROSEN (AUTHOR) (MAY 2012)

Terrific mix of groove soaked modern acid jazz, old school psychedelic blues and rock/fusion retro funk from the unique Swedish band, Ducks Can Groove. DCG are a great and unusual band in that despite being regarded as an “eccentric power-trio", they are considered as being one of the best Hendrix tribute bands on the scene today. There are no Hendrix covers on this album. All the tracks were composed by the Swedish guitarist, Stefan Edfeldt. However, the vibes and musicianship on this album are tremendous and it’s a highly enjoyable listen. Check out the band’s great “This Is Typical” album [All tracks @ 320 Kbps: File size = 137 Mb]

BIO
Since their start in 2000, Swedish power trio DUCKS CAN GROOVE have recorded three Hendrix tribute-albums and three original albums (Different Frogs Different Times 2009, This Is Typical 2010 and Crankable Groovcs 2012) Hailed for their unique brand of eccentric power-trio rockfusion retro funk, the group is also considered as being one of the best Hendrix tribute acts you could ever catch. "CRANKABLE GROOVES" by Swedish DUCKS CAN GROOVE, released on Biba Records, June 2012. This is the groups third album of exclusively original material, penned by guitarist Stefan Edfeldt. The solid foundation of drummer Erik Edlund and bassplayer Göran Backlund is augmented at times by vocalists Helena Hillerbo and Olle Söderlind, plus DJ Gustav Lindqvist scratching. The music is best described as a blend between raw psychedelic blues-mania and innovative modern beats. Feedback, drumsticks and remote controls are some of the tools leader an guitarist Stefan Edfeldt uses to create his unique percussive sound. Stefan has through jams and shows around New York City and L.A, been given the "stamp of approval" by former Hendrix bandmates and musician friends. Highlights are shows with Buddy Miles, Larry Coryell and Jack Casady. The Ducks have a standing invitation as the sole European band to play one of the biggest annual Hendrix tribute events in North America. The most recent show in November of 2011 in N.Y.C. included Larry Coryell and Leon Hendrix among others. Ducks Can Groove brought the audience to standing ovations with their blend of Hendrix-covers and original material. "This band is a real jazz and blues outfit that Hendrix himself would have loved to jam with. " - David Kramer productions, music documentary filmmaker/promoter N.Y.
