Surf Music 2008 #1: Seasick Steve

Posted by: Rev Jules2/13/2008
Sound Waves is back for another year and we begin with our first surf music recommendation of 2008, Seasick Steve, an overnight success after a lifetime of music.

I ushered in the New Year stitting quietly on my couch alone watching the Jools Holland Hootennany on BBC. In a show full of highlights such as Eddie Floyd, Daffy and Kylie Minogue (expertly writhing on a grand piano), one musician shone out, Seasick Steve (aka Steve Wold) a veteran American bluesman whose raw uncompromising brand of blues brought the house down. Winner of the 2007 MOJO Breakthrough award, he is my first choice for 2008.

Bit overrated I think. The whole backwoods stomp-blues schtick wears thin after about three songs. <br><br>He's obviously enjoying himself though. There must be a million guys doing the same thing who can't even get arrested.
