I remember setting up our tent and making our way into the festival grounds. Then, suddenly, the sound of an electric guitar came cutting through the canvas of a tent, straight into the heart of a Danish teenager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI ran towards the stage. There was one of the coolest guitar players I had ever seen, making a Stratocaster sing. I was blown away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat was my first encounter with Kai Strauss. I've been a fan ever since. There is a sense of urgency in every note he plays. Always full of bite, beautifully phrased -- yet delivered with a laid-back attitude and unmistakable charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, I've seen Kai perform countless times as a world- class sideman. In recent years, I've watched him fully step into his role as a frontman, his voice and guitar playing completely in sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo my ears, he is one of Europe's finest blues artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is a testament to that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CONTINENTAL BLUE HEA","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":59010671935832,"sku":"TKM-47578","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":59010671968600,"sku":"TKM-47579","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/Kai_Strauss_-_Don_t_Be_a_Stranger_9a840acb-757a-459c-bb4e-54349cd8837d.webp?v=1793636006","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/kai-strauss-dont-be-a-stranger","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
