Durium Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE The blues & roots band Champagne Charlie, from the Dutch Delta, as it labels itselves, has released a new album, complete dedicated to songs about the US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR for short. This album Champagne Charlie - Waitin' On Roosevelt was released a few weeks ago at the day of the presentation of the Four Freedoms Awards at the Abbey of Middelburg, the capital of Zeeland in the southwest of The Netherlands.

Big Beat Steve Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Nice idea, and amusing cover photo. Sounds like this band would be great fun to listen to, on record and also on stage, though their attire (and therefore visual impact) leaves a bit to be desired, compared to other roots bands such as the "Bo Weavil Blues Band" from France or your own "Ranch House Favorites". BTW, I wonder if they'd have ventured to breathe some "roots music" life into a society band ditty such as "FDR Jones" (and succeeded in doing so), though ...
