The Long Days of Blue Heat

What’s the point in rushing? A good 20 years have passed since Blue Heat recorded a studio album, but with One Day Too Long, a humble title if ever there was one, the drought has been broken. No excuses were made, with the band offering this: “Too much time had passed by … We had this backlog of songs. It was about time too that we pulled our proverbial finger out and did it.” If nothing else the new album provides a nice little snapshot of the Warrnambool band’s 20+ year career, with the title track being part of the band’s repertoire for almost two decades. Recorded in an improvised studio on a property in Nirranda, the album is rhythm ’n’ blues at its finest. Black Hatt, Geelong – January 10.
