Delta and Piedmont Blues, as well as his own original works. Listen to
'Blues 2.0' on his website!!
A reviewer of his album Blues 2.0 says "Fruteland has found a groove in the
Blues, he fashions traditional style acoustic Blues with a taste of Jug,
then mixes it all up with stories of the present tense to hone in on the
heart."

Bob Hall - the 'grand old man' of British boogie woogie!!
"Bob has worked with the best simply because he is one of the best." Jazz
Life Journal
A list of Bob's musical colleagues reads like a who's who of British Blues;
he partnered the late Alexis Korner over many years and performed regularly
with the great bottleneck bluesman Dave Kelly and his sadly missed sister,
Jo Ann Kelly.
He was a founder member of The Groundhogs, Tramp, The Sunflower Blues Band
and The De Luxe Blues Band and still found time to work and record with
legendary artists such as Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood. Bob was also a
long serving member of the Savoy Brown, and is still a guest with The Blues
Band, featuring Paul Jones, Dave Kelly and Tom McGuinness.
Over the ensuing years Bob's own boogie woogie big band, which later became
Rocket 88, included Charlie Watts and Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones,
Alexis Korner, and Jack Bruce from Cream.
Bob developed his grasp of the tradition and his authentic style by working
as a sideman accompanying such blues originals as John Lee Hooker, Howlin'
Wolf, Little Walter, Jimmy Witherspoon, Chuck Berry, Homesick James,
Lightnin' Slim, Lowell Fulsom, Charlie Musselwhite, Snooky Prior, J B Hutto,
Lazy Lester, Baby Boy Warren, Eddie Burns, Eddie Taylor, Big John Wrencher,
Mickey Baker, Eddie Clearwater and many, many more.
