Dreams In America

Luka Bloom erspielte sich einen Kult – Status unter Fans, die ihm zu Konzerten rund um die Welt folgten. Dabei klang seine Solo – Show wie eine ganze Band, „Stadium Rock for Bedrooms“ wie ein deutsches Musikmagazin ihn beschrieb. „20 years later I decided to honour those times with a record. It is not a „Best Of“, with tracks lifted from old records. I chose to revisit songs from the last ten records since, and bring them back to life with new versions. Sometimes it is a song, I don’t like the original recorded version anymore; sometimes it is just a new feeling for a song. Sometimes it’s the words, sometimes it’s the rhythm, and sometimes it’s just the sounds „ Auf Dreams In America fasst er die Essenz dieser Jahre zusammen. „I had this dream and in New York it became a reality, so strong that 20 years later the fire still burns stronger than ever.“ Als Bonus – Tracks enthält die CD auch noch Live – Aufnahmen von „I Hear Her, Like Lorelei“  (im Original vom großartigen „Eleven Songs“) und „Monsoon“ aus der National Concert Hall in Dublin mit Mitgliedern des dort ansässigen Orchesters und „Sunny Sailor Boy“ live 2009 aus Brüssel.
