I Go By Feel – Kai Strauss, 2015
Today, good blues doesn't necessarily have to come from its birthplace, the United States anymore. The blues scene is more and more becoming an international melting pot and Kai Strauss is rapidly working his way up to the forefront of Europe's representatives with his 2nd release in two years for the Dutch roots label Continental Blue Heaven.
Just like Strauss' award-winning debut CD Electric Blues (Blues In Germany Award for Best Album in 2014), I Go By Feel could easily be called an international blues summit.
On this fully packed, 60-minute plus studio effort his collaborations with Delmark recording artist Mike Wheeler and ex-Luther Allison drummer Tommie Harris add a new, more contemporary Chicago Blues influence to the guitarist’s repertoire, while Tony Vega's (Houston) raunchy slide, Sax Gordon's (Boston) muscular saxophone and The Netherlands’ blues harmonica export No.1, Big Pete van der Pluijm, contribute a huge amount of variety to Strauss’ straight-ahead, natural blues formula.
Strauss, who discovered his passion for the music of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and many others as a teenager in the 1980s, is “as authentic as any Texas or Chicago axe slinger around” (Gary Reinhard, WITR Radio/Bad Dog Blues, Rochester, New York) and has honed his chops over the course of more than 25 years of playing clubs and festivals. I Go By Feel not only confirms Kai Strauss' reputation as being in the top league of Europe's electric blues guitarists but also shows that the 45-year-old has evolved into a convincing singer, songwriter and producer in his prime, ready for many more good things to happen.
When Kai Strauss goes by feel, the Blues is literally in good hands.
I Go By Feel – Kai Strauss, 2015
Heutzutage muss guter Blues nicht unbedingt aus dem Heimatland dieser Musik, den USA, kommen. Die Bluesszene ist mehr und mehr zu einem internationalen Schmelztiegel geworden, in dem sich Kai Strauss als einer der namhaftesten europäischen Vertreter des Genres etabliert hat. Seine herausragende Stellung untermauert der 45-jährige Gitarrist und Sänger jetzt mit seiner zweiten Veröffentlichung binnen zwei Jahren auf dem niederländischen Roots-Label Continental Blue Heaven.
Genauso wie Strauss' preisgekröntes Vorgängeralbum, Electric Blues (Blues In Germany Award , Bestes Album 2014), kann man das neue Studiowerk I Go By Feel ohne Übertreibung als internationales Blues-Gipfeltreffen bezeichnen. Mit Delmark recording artist Mike Wheeler (Chicago), Tony Vega (Houston), Sax Gordon (Boston), Big Pete (NL) und dem früheren Luther-Allison-Drummer Tommie Harris (Alabama) hat der Westfale wieder eine hochkarätige Gästeliste für diese, mit 65 Minuten prall gefüllte, CD gewinnen können.
Kai Strauss, der seine Leidenschaft für die Musik von B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan und vielen anderen als Teenager in den 1980er-Jahren entdeckte, spielt so authentisch wie ein Gitarrero aus Texas oder Chicago” (Gary Reinhard, WITR Radio/Bad Dog Blues, Rochester, New York) und hat sich in über 20 Jahren bei unzähligen Club- und Festivalgigs von Europa bis in die USA einen festen Platz in den Herzen der Bluesgemeinde erspielt.
I Go By Feel bestätigt nicht nur, dass sein internationales Renommee als Top-Bluesgitarrist absolut verdient ist, sondern präsentiert ihn auch als gereiften, überzeugenden Sänger, Songschreiber und Produzenten mit dem richtigen Gespür für dynamischen, zeitlosen Blues.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Barack Hussein Obama II ( (listen); born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first African American to be elected to the presidency and previously served as a United States Senator from Illinois (2005–2008).
Obama was born in 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, two years after the territory was admitted to the Union as the 50th state. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, he worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, he enrolled in Harvard Law School, where he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, he became a civil rights attorney and a professor, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He represented the 13th district for three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, when he ran for the U.S. Senate. He received national attention in 2004 with his March primary win, his well-received July Democratic National Convention keynote address, and his landslide November election to the Senate. In 2008, he was nominated for president a year after his campaign began and after a close primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. He was elected over Republican John McCain and was inaugurated on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, he was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
During his first two years in office, Obama signed many landmark bills into law. The main reforms were the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often referred to as Obamacare, shortened as the Affordable Care Act), the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 served as economic stimulus amidst the Great Recession. After a lengthy debate over the national debt limit, he signed the Budget Control and the American Taxpayer Relief Acts. In foreign policy, he increased U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, reduced nuclear weapons with the United States–Russia New START treaty, and ended military involvement in the Iraq War. He ordered military involvement in Libya in opposition to Muammar Gaddafi; Gaddafi was killed by NATO-assisted forces. He also ordered the military operations that resulted in the deaths of Osama bin Laden and suspected Yemeni Al-Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki.
After winning re-election by defeating Republican opponent Mitt Romney, Obama was sworn in for a second term in 2013. During this term, he promoted inclusiveness for LGBT Americans. His administration filed briefs that urged the Supreme Court to strike down same-sex marriage bans as unconstitutional (United States v. Windsor and Obergefell v. Hodges); same-sex marriage was fully legalized in 2015 after the Court ruled that a same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional in Obergefell. He advocated for gun control in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, indicating support for a ban on assault weapons, and issued wide-ranging executive actions concerning climate change and immigration. In foreign policy, he ordered military intervention in Iraq in response to gains made by ISIL after the 2011 withdrawal from Iraq, continued the process of ending U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan in 2016, promoted discussions that led to the 2015 Paris Agreement on global climate change, initiated sanctions against Russia following the invasion in Ukraine and again after Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, brokered a nuclear deal with Iran, and normalized U.S. relations with Cuba. During his term in office, America's reputation in global polling significantly improved. Evaluations of his presidency among historians and the general public place him among the upper tier of Ameri ...
