Electric Soup is the debut album from Ireland's number one blues rock band. This album has all the hallmarks of the Electrifying energy of early crow black chicken.

Its is an eclectic mix of hard rock and blues. Sometimes compared to early ZZ TOP this records combines elements of classic rock and blues from the likes of JIMMY HENDRIX and LED ZEPPELIN to create something that is all Crow Black Chicken.

This is no more evident than on the closing track John The Revelator where CBC crash onto the world blues rock stage with their own take on this blues classic.

It's a unique sound from a unique band. Often drawing comparisons to fellow country man RORY GALLAGHER, Crow Black Chicken attempt to blaze a trail of Irish Blues Rock all of their own.

The unique sound track is perfectly framed in a unique Salvador Dali-esque cover painted by none other than the band's front man, singer and Guitarist Christy O'Hanlon.

This is blues rock forged in the mountains of Ireland's Deep South. [POR] Quotes "It's not often these days for a band to lay down a complete track as a 'take' but that's exactly the approach taken by Crow Black Chicken.

This is a very honest album with a lot of feel and solid playing throughout and is a strong promise of things to come." Guitar Techniques "Electric Soup is not only a promising debut, it's a savage beast of a record: grimy, lean, mean, and soulful." AllMUSIC.com 8/10 "The first thing you'll notice about Irish three-piece Crow Black Chicken is that they sound big - remarkably big for a guitar-bass-drums outfit.

The second thing you'll notice (besides maybe the psychedelic artwork) is that the trio's debut, Electric Soup, overflows with energy.

It's as though the group is driven to seek out whatever sonic boundaries they can find, only to leap across them with both feet." BluesRockReview.com 8/10
