Act of Faith
Chris Jagger’s ATCHA, the uncrowned kings of the British roots scene re-release their SPV Blue Label album ‘Act Of Faith’
Dominated by Chris s ironic, pointed songwriting the album clearly confirms the band’s position amongst the best of the early swamp blues, Cajun and roots rock exponents. Between the drifty Cajun rock songs and the thunderous blues numbers, ‘Act Of Faith’ exhibits bawdy New Orleans funk (‘15% Extra’) and country/zydeco (‘Got Me Where You Want Me’) with just the right amount of swing. ‘Act of Faith’ includes the song ‘DJ Blues’, the first ever recorded duet of the Jagger brothers, and on ‘Junkman’ Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour shines with acutely atmospheric guitar play.
