“Soul Food” from the Vikings of Blues

Out of the oven now and piping hot, “Soul Food” is the first album from Swiss singer Jessy Howe and Spanish-Argentinian guitarist Javier Vargas, aka Vikings of Blues. With a name like that, it comes no surprise to find that the duo are firmly and unashamedly rooted in the 1970s tradition of blues rock.

Vikings of Blues might be a new name on the horizon. The two protagonists, however, are anything but beginners. Jessy Howe, possessor of a classically raunchy rock voice, was born in Switzerland but spent part of her youth in England. Having for many years led her own band, the Raveners, she has participated in numerous large-scale shows.

Guitarist Javier Vargas has more than two dozen albums under his belt, eight of which have achieved platinum status in Spain. Inspired by the likes of Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton, he has toured and collaborated with Carlos Santana, Prince, Larry McCray and countless other blues rock greats.

“Soul Food” was released on 5 April 2021 by Madrid-based Label Rock Estatal.
