Even if the master appears here rather stylish than excessive, "Mountain Climbing" bundles all qualities of Bonamassas twelfth studio album "Blues Of Desperation" in a perfect way: Biting songwriting, powerful groove and earthy guitar sounds refined by a top production.
The brothers Philipp and Felix Jahn left their German homeland and moved to London especially to join the Desert Mountain Tribe with singer Jonty Balls. That was in 2012, and since then he has appeared with artists as diverse as Damo Suzuki and Wovenhand. This gives an idea of where Desert Mountain Tribe is heading stylistically. Not that the band sounds like Suzuki or Wovenhand, but it has the same psychedelic depth and emotional transcendence.
