SirJo Cocchi & Balta Bordoy - Transmutation Blues

Album: Heads Up | Listen & Download: | | Official website: | Lyrics: This town is stinking I gotta leave Nothing more I can do here I gave it all I could give, Gotta find new pastures Those days are gone, I won’t plead I ain’t no sheep no more now I’m gonna lead I’m gonna find me a brand new place gonna start moving And find my pace They say that leaving it’s like an escape But I know I gotta do this before it’s too late Now I’m not running away from my past I don’t know what I’m gonna find something different I guess We’ll I may not discover peace of mind but I’m ready for the challenge I’ll deal with anything I find Gonna stare at the horizon for a while Gonna turn this grin into a big wide smile Imma find rocks and stones I know It won’t be all green grass But I like stumbling upon new things though some may cut like glass Now I might not be that special But I’ aint made from the mold I’m gonna turn all this lead into shining gold I’m gonna turn all this lead into shining gold turn all this lead into shining gold Turn all this lead into shining gold into shining gold SIRJO COCCHI SirJo has had a rich and multi-dimensional musical journey thus far. Before relocating to Milano, Italy (his hometown), where he produced 5 albums and 5 EPs with his own songs, SirJo set his feet in various genres ranging from Rock, Soul, Pop to Jazz and Reggae, traveling to various places of the world to perform and record: from the New Orleans Jazz Fest (where he recorded with local harp wiz Andy J. Forest) to several appearances in Italy’s top fest, Umbria Jazz. He recorded Hammond organ and backing vocals (alongside long time Rolling Stones’ vocalist, Lisa Fischer) in New York for Grammy nominee Vaneese Thomas (from the legendary Stax family) and toured as a lead vocalist/pianist for Otis Grand and (as keyboard player/vocalist) with Big Daddy Wilson, after playing in the mid 90s in Chicago and Los Angeles, where he graduated from KIT (Musician’s Institute, keyboard dept) in Hollywood. With his past projects, Soulspinner and Founda(c)tion, SirJo has opened for The Blues Brothers Band, Solomon Burke, Maceo Parker, Chaka Khan, Tower of Power, Dionne Warwick and performed with Keisha Jackson, Denise LaSalle, The Temprees, Bobby Johnson, Melvia Chick Rogers and Toni Green. BALTA BORDOY With over 30 years of Blues under his belt, Barcelona based Balta Bordoy is rightfully considered a seasoned veteran of the Spanish blues scene, having carved out a successful living as a highly accomplished and in-demand guitarist. He has his own quartet in Barcelona, Balta Bordoy & The Bad Boys, that released a highly praised CD in 2022, “Rock My Blues Away” (Bluztrack 003) featuring Vìctor Puertas on organ and vocals. He also has a band in Mallorca, Los Peligrosos Gentlemen, with a couple of CDs on the market. They have been playing with artists like Alex Schultz, the late Detroit Gary Wiggins and Julian Vaughn (drummer for Albert and B.B. King, Otis Rush and Johnny “Guitar” Watson, to name a few). Balta has recorded and played festivals in Spain (Hondarribia, Cazorla, Rubí, Cerdanyola, Terrassa) as well as in Germany, Hungary and Ukraine with James Harman, Barrelhouse Chuck, Kenny “Blues Boss Wayne, Keith Dunn, Roger Wade, Lluís Coloma & Sax Gordon, Kyle Esplin, Myriam Swanson & The Rhythm Treasures, Big Mama Montse and many more. Accompanying SirJo and Balta in Heads Up! is a tight and experienced rhythm section that has been playing together for years, consisting of Santi Ursul on bass and Micky Izquierdo on drums. 🎧 Don’s Tunes is about the music.
