'All-Time Favorites' neither delivers extensive guitar orgies, nor over-length soloing. Andreas is backed by a stellar group of players, and the album was recorded with a line-up similar to the band formats that originators like Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, or Pee Wee Crayton used as early as in the late 1940s.
'All-Time Favorites' will be taking you on a moving, intoxicating, and fascinating musical journey through the world of blues, and r&b. You will hear tips to big names in blues history; but you will also discover material from rather unknown or even obscure recordings and guitar players that were long forgotten.
The recordings, arranged by Andreas Arlt, and Tom Müller (horns), come with a contemporary, powerful and pleasant mix, and sound. Jazz and blues guitarist, Dave Specter from Chicago, has written the liner notes, and in the 16-page booklet Andreas is giving his personal comments to each and every track.
After working as a professional blues guitar player for more than twenty years, 'All-Time Favorites' represents Andreas Arlt's masterwork, “… an appreciation of (his) personal heroes, freshly packaged.
