Mama’s Jasje - I Have Had The Blues Sometimes

Promises are debts! The previous album by Mama’s Jasje from 2023 was called Het Beste Moet Nog Komen. With their new record, Ik Heb Wel Eens The Blues, Peter Vanlaet has not lied. Over the past two years, Peter wrote a bunch of new songs with a clear vision, a well-thought-out plan. “I wanted to make a record that, in my opinion, has not been made in Flanders before,” says Peter. The blues is more than a music genre, it is also a feeling. In songs like To an unknown soul and Only you hear that profound melancholy. If you listen to My day that just started, Skin hunger, From the gut, or to the pure biography Make your shit a hit, you notice that classic blues riffs are the approach of perhaps the best Mama’s Jasje album ever. Inspired by songwriters like Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits and other heroes, Peter brings songs from the new album with his five-piece band. The classics of Mama’s Jasje are also wrapped in a dough of groaning blues notes in this show.
