Talk:Blues Interaction – Live in Japan 1986

Some points in question

I would like to raise some questions about what's written in the article. It mentions that "the album has been legitimately panned by many critics because of the backing band's rudimentary knowledge of blues music." I see that allmusic's review critizes the album that way, but what other critics critize it in the same manner to constitute "many" critics? For the record, the backing band Break Down is one of the best known veteran bands in Japan's blues scene. Especially, the guitarist Fusanosuke Kondo cites Otis Rush as primary influence on his playing, and probably he understands Rush's music better than any musicians in Japan. I don't argue that the playing on this CD is not very good, but to say that the band only had rudimentary knowledge of blues music is simply not true.

And about dual citizenship, is there an evidence for this? While it is true that he's been married to a Japanese wife for quite a long time, I have never heard about him having a citizenship of Japan. Japan legally does not allow dual citizenship, so I would assume this is a false statement. --Sumori (talk) 08:49, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
