To help with the description I will quote the "Magic Land" book, ( a complete guide about southamerican beat, psychedelic and progressive rock with full coverage about Lps and Artists, maybe the best about local music):

" After the break-up of Opus Alfa in 1972, the keyboard player returned to his job as sound engineer, the singer went solo and Bertolone, Barral and Graf formed the power trio Días de Blues.

 Live shows began immediately, endorsed by the excellent background of its members. Their music, an absolutely wild and raw mixture of hyper electric drug-induced progressive blues with social -concerned lyrics, found influences on Cream, Led Zeppelin and Cactus.

Their only LP, recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina by the end of 1972, captures the roughness and vitality of their concerts like many few groups ever managed to. Conceived inside the typical parameters of the time, the album is an indisputable sample of progressive hard rock. It is absolutely recommended to understand the acid-progressive rock of that time.

Daniel Bertolone -who couldn't afford a guitar of his own- plays the hell out in his solos and riffs obtained the sound that most guitar players dreamed in those days. Jorge Barral, strongly influenced by Jack Bruce in the vocal and instrumental part, gives the global sound of the group with his strongly melodic sense. On the other hand, Jorge Graf, an astonishing effective drummer, contributes with his constant accurate solid metric.

The psychedelic blues "Amasijando los blues", the acid rock "Están desubicados" and pro drug allegations like "Dame tu sonrisa, loco" ("Smile to me, dude'') are great examples of the band effectiveness. The strange psycho-folk of "Esto es nuestro" or the brutal energy discharged on "Toda tu vida", round up this great album of inspired compositions. A must have record!

Burdened by the political and economic problems that shook the country, the band split and its members emigrated to Germany (Graf), Spain (Barral) and Australia (Bertolone), where he finally could buy himself a guitar!

The album was released in Uruguay and Argentina (Trova XT80054) with different covers. Both editions are extremely rare, particularly the Uruguayan. Beware of European counterfeits (both on vinyl and CD). Surprisingly, in 1977 Clave released a rare LP with one side by Días de Blues and one side by Opus Alfa (!).
