After several international recording projects (USA, UK, Germany) it was time to record this album at their home base in Finland.

Micke & Lefty feat. Chef want to deliver positive energy through their music. This is an energetic, entertaining and even funny group on stage. “That ´s probably why they call us The Acoustic Power Trio”, grins Bjorklof. “ Anyway, we wanted to try to catch these live vibes and bring them on the album. Hopefully we succeeded”, Micke continues. Let The Fire Lead is versatile collection of blues & roots songs with some gospel, folk and rock influences. Maybe even with a touch of The Beatles. The album contains 12 tracks: 9 originals and 3 interpretations of classic blues songs.

 “Gotta See My Church” is based on a true story by one small town club owner the band met on the road. They were talking after the show and he wanted to share his life story.  “He had hardly ever travelled anywhere else and did not even want to leave any further away from his home than where he could see the city church tower. With his words “Gotta See My Church”, well, we just had to write this song”, Lefty states.

“I´m A Steady Rollin’ Man”: a classic Robert Johnson track interpreted with special guest, Finnish rock’n’ roll grand old man Eero Raittinen, age 75. “We´ve been working together with Raittinen for several years, every now and then. But we´ve never had a chance to record
