C.C.S. - The Best Band In The Land
C.C.S.’s The Best Band in the Land is a bold, brassy fusion of rock, blues, and big band flair. Driven by Alexis Korner’s blues roots and John Cameron’s punchy arrangements, the album transforms familiar tracks like “Sunshine of Your Love,” “Lola,” and “Shakin’ All Over” into swaggering, horn-heavy jams. Original cuts like “The Band Played the Boogie” add further groove and grit. The musicianship is tight, the energy infectious, and the production rich with texture. It’s an ambitious blend of styles that struts confidently between genres. A dynamic, often overlooked gem that rewards listeners with its fearless sound.
