With “Blues Barn,” sound wizard Jan-Eric Persson fulfills a long-cherished wish: B.B. Leon (real name: Bo Nordin), who enjoys a reputation as a local hero in Sweden, is a classic blues guitarist whose Stratocaster sound is occasionally reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Since Persson and Nordin have known each other for a long time, it made sense to record an album and release it on Opus 3 Records. Once pianist and organist Mattias Lundqvist had joined the trio, B.B. Leon & Triple Treat recorded twelve down-to-earth blues tracks, on which Bo Nordin occasionally switches from his Stratocaster to the piano or lap steel guitar. "Superb sound: dynamic, colorful, clear, transparent, nuanced. A huge thank you to Opus 3 for this stereo SACD.“ (Audio, December 2017). ”The recording impresses with its rich, powerful depth and silky, harmonious midrange and treble presence." (Hifi & Records 1/2018)
The LP (180-gram vinyl, 33 RPM), which boasts outstanding sound quality, was pressed by Optimal Media. Andreas “Lupo” Lubich (Calyx Mastering, Berlin) is responsible for the lacquer disc cutting.
