Strange
Phenomena - Five tracks captured live in Tokyo plus

guitar playing. Also available at:
"Again,
Chris makes the art of guitar playing seem effortless. A no
holds barred, in your face, work of art. And that just describes
my least favorite track on the CD. Think 'Texas Flood' meets
'Second Winter'." -Brent Bradley, Podshow Radio
"Re-energising
the genre, Juergensen's newest release is a typhoon of raw energy,
pure and honest blues rock at its finest. Just what 11 on the
dial was waiting for." -Colin Meeks, Indie Launchpad
"Listening
to Chris Juergensen play brings a smile to my face, it makes
me feel good. So much so, I have trouble calling it 'Blues',
I prefer to call it near audio perfection." -Eban
Crawford, Reaching For Lucidity
"Big
Bad Sun" - Traditional in nature, contemporary in sound,
Chris Juergensen's Big Bad Sun is a bold departure from the
blues you may be familiar with. Passionate guitar playing, good
story telling plus crystalline production makes this CD destined
to become a true, modern day, blues classic. Beautifully rendered
and performed, guitar lovers will want to make this CD a part
of their everyday collection.
"Chris
is a phenomenal talent head to toe. 'Big Bad Sun' unleashes
an unabashed dirty low down blues side of him that has you stompin'
your feet to a killer variety of grooves. And prepare to stand
back as the guitar speaks to you, alternatively ripping your
head off and then caressing you." - Jennifer Batten
"Another
beautiful cd from Chris Juergensen. This recording has a serious
blues vibe. Chris sings and plays his ass off on this one."
- Mike Stern.
