Seasick Steve - Dog House Music B000JU7ITW

Well if you're a Blues fan this really hits the spot. Not sure how I've missed him up to now. Seasick Steve plays Delta slide blues, usually on an old Trance guitar with only three strings - but he makes it sound as full as can be. These are modern tales of the hobo life, the southern states and a man struggling against the odds. Think of a hard blues Tom Waits with a guitar and tattoos...but when he starts his Trance Boogie, banging his mississippi drum machine (aka a wooden box) I defy anyone to stay still.
