Rating: - never mind the 'experts' this guy is solid gold.
I have all SSS's albums and I don't suggest even by implication that I am an expert in the blues genre of music.

Rating: - There ain't no f*@!king jazz here!
As I listen to this I'm driving to the Brecon Jazz festival. Here the jazz can range from heavy to funky but one pub there plays rock and blues all weekend in the face of all that jazz. This album make me feel like I'm there already - foot tapping, hip sswinging, real funky rocking blues. Brilliant!
Rating: - Grungey, get-down punk blues
I'm one of the people who saw Seasick Steve before he was on the Jools Holland show (boast, boast). Back when he played with the amazing rhythm section, the Level Devils from Sweden. This is ferocious, tuneful and funky. Like being a t a real juke-joint but with a punky modern feel as well. Get this as well as Dog House music and you won't be disappointed.
Rating: - Seasick Steve - Cheap
Raw, honest and stunning. Hobo blues at its best. Buy this, crack a beer (or a few)and I bet you can't stop bits of you moving.
