Blues Creation was the brainchild of guitarist/singer Kazuo Takeda. They were known as Blues Creation from 1969--1972 and after a three year hiatus returned as just Creation in 1975, not to be confused with the mid-60's British blues pop band known as The Creation. In 1969 Blues Creation made a self-titled album of American blues covers, featuring songs written by Sonny Boy Williamson, Memphis Slim, Chester Burnett, J. Mayall-E. Clapton, Blind Willie Johnson, Willie Dixon and Otis Rush. In August 1971 they released their original debut Demon & Eleven Children, and also released Carmen Maki & Blues Creation, which had the band fronted by female vocalist Carmen Maki. Each Blues Creation album other than their debut features songs written by Takeda and consists of a constantly shifting lineup. In late 1971 Blues Creation released their final album, Blues Creation Live.
