Lifeline (1998)

15e album van Hans Theessink, uit 1998. 'In the fall of 1997 I did a string of concerts with The Holmes Brothers and we decided to record some tunes in our limited free time between shows. The sessions were a lot of fun and we wound up with five songs for this CD (...). My favourite musical instrument is the human voice and aside from some fine playing, Wendell, Sherman and Popsy spiced up the songs with their expressive voices and inspired singing. I wanted to involve more singers and immediately thought of Linda Tillery & The Cultural Heritage Choir. Wed met at a couple of summer-festivals in Canada during 1997, where we shared workshop stages on different occasions. I was totally impressed with their music and stage presence. Easily one of the best things I heard (and saw) that summer'. (Hans Theessink in het tekstboekje). Andere gasten zijn de groep Insingizi Emnyama uit Zimbabwe, Pee Wee Ellis en Charles Brown.
