Seasick is RAW on this CD!! The Hobo, we all took into our hearts for the humble yet enigmatic way he performs is truly reflected in this collection! Yet again he tells a bit of his own story here in 'I'm Gone' - about a dog that was pregnant & took off while got jailed for vagrancy! This CD isn't to the quality recording that many got their intro to seasick from (Jules Holland or the Reading Festival) - but I think this adds to it's charm! It is more as you'd imagine him strumming away, on the now infamous 3 string, around an oil drum fire, wiating in the train yard.. Seasick has taken us back to a revival of Real Blues..straight from the train lines, & artichoke fields. I've no problem comparing him to the pioneers like Lead Belly(1931) or the early Bob Dylan at the village (before he went 'electric'. Our children will, I am sure, put Steves' music where it belongs. Along such archives as 'The Basement Tapes' & the 1930's collections of folk in the USA's library of congress!! Seasick has ripped back all the adulterations of true folk & blues - this music wasn't made to make money - nor even made to 'protest' (like the 60's folk) - it's just good old fashioned music about everyday incidents in the most incrediable life of a Hobo who has travelled the US from he was 14 to escape from a tyrannical home! Something in this for the die hards & for the passing browser into Blues! An excellent contribution to the music world!! AndyRead full review
I heard another of his cd's while on holiday so decided to buy another title to see if I still enjoyed his music. The answer to that is yes, it's fun he tells a story and his music has a really good blues beat. Will be looking out for his other titles.
Heard this guy on the Jules Holland show - and he blew away all the other so called star Guests - real raw talent and Blues, shame all the so called drug fueled "pop stars" of today are not as talented as him - maybe thats why they need the drugs....with Seasick Steve what you see is what you get.. uncompromised / raw / Blues....
i first heard this guy on joolz hollands new year party thing 2 years ago, he played the dog house blues with a crappy old guitar that only had 3 strings instead of 6. i was amazed! it was brill. the first listen doesnt do it justice, its a grower. i wasnt disappointed.
Having bought and enjoyed Seasick Steve's album "I Started Off With Nothing And Still Got Most of it Left", I thought I'd try this one. It's very good with some fine self-penned Blues numbers on it. However, the little anecdote about his dog, although belng amusing at first, wears a bit thin after several playings. You can play a song over and over; but not a story. Hence I can only give this otherwise excellent disc a good
