• Alois Kuch was born in Austria in 1945 and grew up in post-war Vienna. As a young man he discovered the blues of the 20s and 30s, the pre-electric age, became Al Cook and never looked back.

• "Best of" collection to celebrate 45 years of performing. Al writes most of his own material but the songs sound like they were found on an old Vocalion 78 while his vocals and the sound created by his accompanying musicians make his recordings feel almost more authentic than the real thing!
