A Copenhagen group who made one of the first Danish multi-track recorded rock albums. This is a great progressive blues-rock effort with superb guitar work throughout! Delta Blues Band built their sound around the first Beefeaters album and couldn't be accused of being blues purists (their tracks incorporated equal amounts of beat and psychedelia). The Puggard-Müllers soon left the group to join Robert Lelievere's new group Pan. Other line-up changes followed, leaving Troels Jensen as the only original member in 1972. His later LPs contained more traditional blues-rock and cannot be compared to the 1969 album.
