- Description: A blues trio I’d never heard of playing songs by a guitarist I’d never heard of, and I loved it. GA-20’s ‘Try It…You Might Like It’ proves good design, simple messaging, and honest rhythm still sell the story.

An album by a band I’d never heard of (GA-20, blues trio from Boston, named after the Gibson Amp) covering the works of an artist I’d never heard of either (Hound Dog Talyor, Chicago blues guitarist b.1915).

I read the review (it referenced The Dirtbombs, a band I’d seen in Detroit in 2003 and Muddy Waters, I discovered Electric Mud more recently. It also mentioned The White Stripes). Affirmation is important.

I liked the cover (graphic, colourful, intriguing image of a six-fingered hand – Hound Dog Taylor had a condition called polydactylism). Design is important.

But I think it was the simple call to action of the subtitle “Try It…You Might Like It”. Maybe not the most marketing-savvy line, but like the blues riffs, played with an edge of funk on the record it, has a paired back honesty that reflects the music. Messaging is important.

“Try It…You Might Like It”.
