Hans Theessink & Big Daddy Wilson – Pay Day (2021)

B.B.King said “The blues are a mystery“, and Willie Dixon stated: „The Blues are the true facts of life.“ When Hans Theessink and Big Daddy Wilson sing Blind Willie Johnson‘s classic “Everybody Ought To Treat A Stranger Right” – first recorded in 1930, the song has lost none of its relevance in the present day. Theessink’s own “Virus Blues”, is a haunting reflection of our own time and age right now: “Makes no difference if you’re rich or poor, if you’re yellow, black or white.” And remember, “You gonna reap what you sow” – one day “PAY DAY” is gonna come.

This is the first of many albums that features Jon Sass on the tuba. I’d just been to New Orleans where I figured out that it would be interesting to try to combine my string sounds with a brass bass. Fate has it that I met Jon at the Vienna Airport on the way back – he was up for the idea. We created a pretty unique sound and have since worked together for over 15 years. The album features old blues tunes and original songs. I invited TexMex accordion-man Flaco Jimenez to play on the title track. Baby Wants To Boogie was a minor hit for me. The single release got a lot of airplay around the globe. (Hans Theessink)

On April 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th 2018 the legendary Hans Theessink Birthday Bash concerts took place at the Metropol in Vienna. Fans and musical friends came from all over Europe and North America to celebrate Hans’ 70th birthday. The atmosphere was splendid and the performers took us on a marvellous musical journey. The 70 Birthday Bash album is a unique document full of great moments and unusual sessions. Hans Theessink is a great singer, songwriter and a virtuoso guitarist whose great love for American roots music has, over the years, given us some cracking album’s full of blues, rock ‘n roll and country-folk music. He’s always been willing to share ideas and experiment with a diversity of music and it’s all demonstrated here with his guests on this joyous celebratory Birthday Bash. Hans played his heart out on every single track! Is this any way to spend your birthday? Course it is.
