"Benny produces modern Blues rooted in the foundations of the past" Blues Blast Magazine
Benny Jenkins bloodline plays postwar Chicago style blues / West Coast jump swing influenced music with a rockabilly energy. "The missing link between blues and rockabilly; Bluesbilly".
Benny pays homage to his Chicago roots with the cuts "Jumpin on maxwell" and "Southside dixie hwy blues"
True american music from the heart & soul ! This man knows the blues first hand. Benny lost his Mother at the age of 8yrs . You can feel his pain on the cut "Hey Mama" or the title track "Can't take the blues" refering to a couple messy breakups that left him with nothing!
Although lots of heartache Benny kept his sense of humor on cuts "2 more steps"," Reefer smokin mama" & "6ft. underground" and not to forget the flatout fun party songs; "Step back" & "Blues party"
If you miss hearing the blues on radio check out the cut; "Bring back the blues on my radio" a song about many influences like; Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, BB, Albert & Freddie King.
The CD ends with a good ol' harmonica romp on the front porch "Mush Mouth"
