Welcome to
Bluestown Records
the home to some of Norway ’s absolute best blues artists.

Our story starts in the spring of 2000 with the groundbreaking and very well received release: SPOONFUL OF BLUES – THREE CAR GARAGE.

Since then we have established a strong catalogue and artist roster.
The Bluestown Records artists are all among the hardest working blues artists on the Norwegian Blues scene today.

Ex Fleetwood Mac performer
Jeremy Spencer
In the studio to record new solo album

Juke Joint Studio, Notodden - Norway
11.11 - 20.11 2005

This will be his first blues album since he left Fleetwood Mac in 1971. Spencer is in high spirits and he still makes unbelievable music. His voice and guitar has never sounded better.

The recording session in the fantastic and all analogue Juke Joint Studio in the small town of Notodden , Norway produced 14 new recordings with a mix of both new and older material.

Spencer performed the older blues and rock ‘n’ roll material with smile on his face as a nod and “hello I’m back” to all his fans that have waited all these years for a new release. With the new songs he will surely gather a lot of new fans without losing a single one of the old ones. Jeremy Spencer is authoratively showing the world that he has played his guitar every day for all the time he’s been away, and that he has moved on both musically and as a song writer.

Every track is centered around Spencer’s inventive and clear toned slide guitar and his warm and vibrant singing style. Half way into the mixing period it’s easy to say that the world has not seen the best of Jeremy Spencer yet. His best recordings to date is on its way.

With the Juke Joint Studio recording session the guitar legend is finishing what he started when he decided to return to the stage and play the well famed Notodden Blues Festival last August. Jeremy Spencer thrilled the Notodden audience for three days with stunning performances. The Norwegian media all raved about the strong return of the original Fleetwood Mac guitarist. With the new cd they will be in for another big surprise.

Spencer’s enthusiasm for the recording project is clearly shown in his statement to the local press: “I have totally extremely enjoyed it.”

Please keep coming back to this site for more updates on Jeremy Spencer’s new cd as the project moves along.

Thank you for posting that Wouter!
Very good news indeed - been a long since his days with Fleetwood Mac and hopefully he is now a little more comfortable with his abilities. It was just frustrating, especially on the studio sessions, that he would not push himself or contribute more to the sessions.
When you hear him on some of the live bootlegs, especially from the first American tour, you get a real sense of just what he was capable of.

I believe the cows just came home! This is incredible, indeed. Now if only Danny could pull himself together...

Thanks for this update on Jeremy's upcoming album, Wouter. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Would be great if Greeny could make a guest appearance. After all, he lives in Sweden,
quite close!

I doubt if Jeremy would agree to that. I mean, he has been rather reluctant on his performing beside Greeny, kind of felt pushed aside (musically speaking). On the other hand, maybe he has left aside his feelings of minority....

The new album is called "Precious Little" and there will be a release concert at the "Muddy Waters Club" in Oslo tonight (20th of February). The record company says that the style of record will be Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Mark Knopfler and Ry Cooder.

Jeremy will also appear on TV tomorrow morning, and I'll have to try to copy it!

By the way, the first single is called "Maria de Santiago" .. I suppose it is the same as the beautiful instrumental from the "Gaia" CD.
