Slide guitar supremo Michael Messer with multi-instrumentalist Chaz Jankel (Ian Dury and the Blockheads). It doesn’t get better than this!

The pair have known each other for 45 years, but it wasn’t until a chat and jam session four years ago that it all came together.

These two artists wear decades of combined musical experience lightly, as their music displays a freshness of approach and adds new twists to their foundational influences in blues, funk, new wave, and rock. The exhilarating and accessible music Michael and Chaz make together bears comparison with the finest work in either of their garlanded careers.

“Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel have created an exhilarating album that bears comparison with the finest work in either of their garlanded careers.”

“The quality of the playing is exceptional – they are both masters at their crafts – and the end result is an album of many highs and no lows. The music just flows easily.” – musicnewsweb

“Easy, flowing currents of melody tumble through ‘Mostly We Drive’ from gifted songwriting duo Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel. Throughout the song, the rhythms of resonator guitar and the sumptuous, slipping, sliding notes are absolutely gorgeous from two great artists who combine many years of songwriting experience and precision playing to create a fresh, new bluesy sound. Michael Messer’s thoughtful lyrics are striking: “One day we die, the rest we’re alive,” and all the songs from the duo will have you seeking adventure and life” – Andrew Frolish – AmericanaUK

“Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel have brought us a wonderful folky acoustic rock track that carries an impeccable groove and swings to it with his latest offering “Mostly We Drive”. You can’t help but nod your head and sway to the beat of this track as its tempo and rhythm are classic folk country rock. The vocal performance is grounded and full of expression leading to an infectious literning experience that makes you feel like you can’t get enough of this track. I loved listening to “Mostly We Drive” and so will you, so go check it out and add it to your playlists today!” – Lost In the Manor

“The varied, mesmerising rhythms of the music are matched by verses which obviously borrow a poetic ethos and world-worn approach from the likes of JJ Cale, Bob Dylan and blues masters past” – East Portland Blog
