Good things take time. Chris and Ken Whiteley have spent years becoming well versed in a multitude of musical styles by drawing inspiration from many wells. Whether playing blues, swing, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, jug band or folk, the brothers do it with finesse, respect and intimate knowledge. These qualities have served them very, very well. Chris and Ken's list of musical accomplishments thus far reads like a list of dream goals talented musicians would set for their entire careers. Since the sixties, The Whiteley Brothers, together and individually, have been in demand as performers, multi instrumentalist session players, songwriters and producers. With over 150 recordings between them, eight Juno nominations, Blues Album of the Year Award and countless festival appearances, the two have explored their individual creativities to great critical and popular success. Among many others, they've worked with, John Hammond Jr., Leon Redbone, Blind John Davis and were the first Canadian act ever invited to perform at the prestigious Chicago Blues Festival. And throughout, the brothers have always created their own music.
<"b00005tzee4999"> Album Description
Few people could record a project like Taking Our Time. Apart from playing all the instruments, Chris and Ken Whiteley composed and produced every track. Each piece is produced lovingly, with respect for the song. From the Dixieland strains of "I Don't Mind" to the rocking John Lee Hookerstyle of “Shufflin' and Shaggin’”, the Whiteley Brothers show their respect for and intimate knowledge of the many styles that make up the blues idiom. With delta country blues on "Saskatchewan Blues", jazzy ballads such as "Perfume and Tobacco" and inspirational sing-alongs like "On this Journey", Taking Our Time is an album that will stand up to repeated listening. The Whiteley Brothers have provided us with a glimpse of the past, present, and future in this wonderful recording. Slow down and listen to Taking Our Time.
