After taking some time of to release his critically acclaimed solo album ‘Game Changer‘ in 2022 Patrik Jansson is back, but this time with his band, the Patrik Jansson Band
With a new line up and a brand new album, PJB’s fifth full length album, ‘Different Shades Of Blue’, Patrik Jansson Band prove once again that they are a force to be reckoned with, sounding more mature, more energized and more relevant than ever.
The eight original songs on the album, all written and arranged by Patrik Jansson himself, show a wide range of influences ranging from early Texas and Chicago blues like T-Bone Walker, B.B. King and Freddie King (in songs like Keep Me Satisfied and Love And War) to more contemporary blues and blues-rock artists like Joe Bonamassa, Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Walter Trout and Matt Schofield (Gold Digger, Know Where To Go and What’s Up?).
But as always Patrik makes his own versions and tries to expand on the given formula, adding hints of jazz, rock and fusion into the mix, of course without ever losing focus of what makes a great song, namely great melodies, interesting arrangements and great performances, proving once again that not only a skillful multi-instrumentalist but also a masterful songwriter.
A horn section is also added to a couple of tracks this time, as well as a harmonica on the song Jolene.
