Hidden bonus track: Crossroads

Piet leaves the stage with the words; “I’ll catch you boys later”, then the rest of the guys led by Jacques Groenewald jam on Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” obviously inspired by Cream’s 1968 version. Blistering guitar solo from Johnathan. And there’s a short drum and bass duet from the powerhouse engine room of Paul and Tertius, before it all winds down. “Se bietjie ou blues” shouts Jacques. Indeed!
Brian Currin

13 Towns, The Journey Continues

For Piet Botha & Jack Hammer, the month of December always involved touring “coast to coast and up and down that crazy road…” This year, they’re still bringing their music to the fans, in the form of 13 Towns (The Journey Continues) double live album.

Following the release of Vol. 1 on online platforms earlier this year, Vol. 2 is now also available.

Even better, Vol. 1 + 2 can also be purchased in CD format from Johnathan Martin, Bean, Duke or Jake Gunn.
If you are in the Helderberg area you can also go grab yourself a copy at the Soul Café in Strand.
