We are our brains, our genes and more, and that combination makes who we are, what we do and so on. Therefore, Leigh Blond has been making music since he was 13. First he played drums, then guitar and piano and more or less from scratch he wrote songs, which were soon covered by other well-known British musicians (Long John Baldry). Obsessively enthusiastic about the blues, most of his songs are straight forward blues or related. A recurring pattern in his composing is blues with a bridge or chorus with melody.
LB’s music world started with Long John Baldy, Chris Farlowe, John Mayall, Elvis Presley, Gerry Rafferty… He achieved his greatest successes with his LP See Me Thru in 1999, made with the Rafferty musicians Bryn Howarth and Pavel Rosak and not to forget the Gerry Rafferty producer Hugh Murphy. Chris Farlowe regularly sings a number of songs on almost all Leigh Blond albums. The title song of LB’s most recent CD, INNOCENCE, has been covered by Colosseum, among others.
The 2022 CD INNOCENCE will certainly have a successor. In the meantime, two singles have now been released, which can be listened to on all contemporary streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal.

We were planned to no plan at all
They say some Higgsboson got the ball to roll
Must have been some billions years ago
A thrilling, amazing, incredible show
Life bent the destination of Planet Earth
Darwin says that the Deep Blue gave us birth
Guitar talks would be irrelevant news But if you insist, we could talk about the Otentic Blues.
Disney had got on stage, some 500 years after Christ, in the cavemen age. It taled of prophets with a divined mission. In fact we are speaking of the clash of Arab clans in a continuous, religious, killing collision. Worse than lawyers, worse than CO2 emission.
Guitar talks would be irrelevant news But if you insist, we could talk about the Otentic Blues.
Voodoo desert monkeys on the loose
In 2020 still 4 billion followers and every day on the news. Stunning madness, turning the world upside down. Appalling sadness and stupidity, trying to convert this planet into a ghost town.
Guitar talks would be irrelevant news But if you insist, we could talk about the Otentic Blues.
Let’s make the World a better place, instead
Clean up plastic, each one of us one piece a day
Stop the bio industry, stop to pray
Your Heaven is Einstein’s cosmos and
Beyond any doubt, there’s no better place to stay
Guitar talks would be irrelevant news But if you insist, we could talk about the Otentic Blues.
