Mike (Hook) Deutsch got his nickname after losing his hand just above the wrist in an industrial accident back in the early 1970's. Hook simply adapted, to become one of the better blues piano players in town, and perhaps the best one-handed blues pianist anywhere! Hook's Combo recorded this CD, "The Blues Is All Around Me" before a live audience at Whiskey Junction, a renowned biker bar on the south fringe of Minneapolis' West Bank district. Hook, Junior & Company crank out some fine, biting urban blues, featuring Junior's scorching guitar and Hook's piano and vocals, along with the saxophone of special guest Rick O'Dell. This is a hard one to find and sells for much more at other locations.
