Kriisa and Roots established their musical partnership in 2000 and have been gigging as Bullfrog Brown since 2003, appearing at some of the biggest international blues and guitar festivals in Northern and Eastern Europe, such as the Lakeside Blues Festival (2006) and the Savonsolmu Beach & Blues Party (2007) in Finland, Augustibluus (2003-2007) and Fiesta De La Guitarra (2006) in Estonia, Blues Nights (2005) in Lithuania, and the WRA InterContinental Resophonic Guitar Festival (2005) in the Czech Republic. Their 2006 trip to Britain included shows in London, Glasgow, Kingston, Hartlepool, and Stockton. In their native country, the band have opened for and - at the maestro's personal request - played with David "Honeyboy" Edwards, backed Zigaboo Modeliste's keyboard man Eddie Baytos on the road and on national television, and toured with Dave Arcari, Black River Bluesman, and Bottleneck John. In March 2007, Bullfrog Brown became the highest ranking blues band in UBL.com's Ultimate Band Competition, placing 6th in a 2-year race with thousands of international pop, rock, and hip-hop artists; in April, the band won First Prize at the Blindman's Blues Forum showcase. In 2006, a track from the band's "Uncooked" EP was featured as the only post-1971 and non-American recording in the History of Slide Guitar programme compiled by Radio Melibokus in Germany, and the EP itself nominated for the Deed of the Year award in the group's hometown of Tartu, Estonia. “The new voice and sound of the old blues.” -- John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network “Huge stage presence and a superb band.” -- Dave Raven, BFBS Radio "Primal earthy blues." -- Paul Bufton, Blues Matters! “More real than the real thing.” -- René Malines, Virus de Blues “All of this punk rock blues experimentation in recent years has finally been perfected.” -- Eric Gebhardt, Blues In London

Story behind the song
The Bullfrog Brown trio, plus Peeter Piik on upright bass and Raul Terep on marching bass drum. Probably the most traditional song on the new album.
Lyrics
They call me Muddy Waters But you know that’s not my name Well they call me Muddy Waters But you know that’s not my name I don’t look too much alike him But you know I feel the same They call me the Howlin’ Wolf I was born the year he died Oh they call me the Howlin’ Wolf I was born the year he died Every time I hear him howlin’ Makes me wanna lay down & cry Sometimes they call me Lightnin’ ‘Cause that’s the way my playin’ sounds You know sometimes they call me Lightnin’ ‘Cause that’s just the way my playin’ sounds If they’d know ‘bout Mr. Hopkins Man they’d surely put me down I’m green as a pooltable & you know I’m twice as square Yes I’m green as a pooltable & you know I’m twice as square You know the place that I belong to They would say I ain’t nowheres Well I’m goin’, I’m goin’ Where the Southern cross the Dog Yes I’m goin’, people Where the Southern cross the Dog May take awhile before I get there But I will get there ‘fore too long
