You can hear the trio perform Allen's songs "Across the Marble Floor" and "Friends from Uptown" on an acoustic garage band website.

Sven Zetterberg's latest CD, Hollerin' Up a Storm, has some great songs and harmonica playing. Sven wrote all the songs except for one, which Allen wrote, called "Ain't no hurry to go home." Allen served as lyrical consultant also, and you can tell that Allen and Sven are kindred spirits. A really enjoyable CD! In Sweden, you can order it from www.cdon.com or www.ginza.se. You can order outside of Europe, if you have a PayPal account, by writing to Smokestack Blues, who send internationally.

Sven performed Allen's song at the Piazza Blues Festival in Bellinzona, Switzerland on July 26, 2008. The song was included on a CD for the festival that has been hard to find on the Internet. If you know how to get it, please tell us by writing to info(at)allenfinney.com

Allen Finney and EBB

Allen's previous CD Laying My Monkey Down, with Fat City Blues, was the first to feature only his original songs. Now he returns with an all-acoustic set, Allen Finney and EBB, showcasing his more recent material. Eric's Bluesband accompanies him unplugged with a fresh, immediate sound.
