“The songs, one and all, are beautiful. Beautiful in the way that New Orleans is beautiful: tarnished, mildewed, waterlogged, stained by wine, loneliness and lust.” OFF BEAT ,New Orleans(LA)
Bio / Background
The CD comes in a special designed card board box and includes photo and lyric cards!
" "Basil For Nino" hints at what the Cowboy Junkies might sound like with a male lead singer. The album quivers with a Daniel Lanois-like ambiance."

"You walk away feeling your life has been enriched spiritually and emotionally"
MUSIKMAN, internet mag
Singer/songwriter/auteur Andi Hoffmann is at root a romantic poet who continues to create rich lyrical compostions in a style best expressed as "organic rock." Born and raised in Switzerland, now making his home in New Orleans, Louisiana, Hoffmann along with his Kaleidoscopically eclectic band, The B-Goes, plays songs that are in turn sweet, melancholy, fun, funky, angry, and ethereal. On his most recent CD "Living in The Big Wide World", Hoffmann's music takes some surprising turns.
↓ more ↓Here alongside the roots rock and zen-alpine soundscapes featured on previous recordings, The B-Goes expand into a dizzying array of styles--cajun, calypso, reggae, swamp pop, hip-hop, and hi-life. The result is a fascinating CD full of exotic hybrid songs offering artistically fertile settings for Hoffmann's worldly-wise storytelling, his unique instrumentation ideas, and The B-Goes' exquisite vocal harmonies. Yet even beyond crafting creative new musical formulas, Hoffmann displays a deepening awareness of the greater ties that bind us all, embracing the passion of a political vision based on the peace philosophies of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
