02/01/1978

'Eighties band the Godfathers carried themselves with the swagger and cynicism of punks, kicked ass better than most hard rock bands and were too tough to fit comfortably alongside most indie-rock contemporaries.' 'Kris Dollimore, a founding Godfather, is equally hard to pin down. He's worked with New Wave legends Johnny Thunders and Dee Dee Ramone, The Damned and latterly, Scottish master-songsmiths, Del Amitri. Now Dollimore has re-cast himself as a solo blues artiste and a compellingly effective one Kris Dollimore's take on the blues is not in the least bit polite, mannered or contrived. He plays it pure, simple and from the heart. 02/01/1978 is an impressive, savage beast of an album, jammed with powerful, primal recordings the like of which, you rarely hear in this country. At it's heart is the unstoppable thud-thud-thud of Dollimore's stomping foot and his edgy, insistent rhythmic guitar-work - reminiscent of the younger John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins or RL Burnside.'
