Dutch blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Hans Theesink has been carving a niche for himself in the U.S. market throughout the late 1980s and early -90s. It-s no easy task growing up in the Netherlands and teaching oneself the blues, but perhaps that-s the reason Theesink-s guitar stylings are so unique.

For his first best-of, Hans has himself selected the songs and thematically distributed on 3 CDs: Blues Cooking and Song Cooking his best blues find interpretations as well as a selection of his most beautiful songs. Live cooking includes many tracks of the 2004 DVD -A Blues & roots Revue- for the first time on CD.
