Seasick Steve (Page 2 of 2)

I have to agree. Seasick Steve has introduced a whole bunch of the younger generation to blues based material which I applaud. Hell he's got it played on prime time radio here in the UK - which is no bad thing, in fact it's a blessing for him and the likes of Joe. How he's done it is as much a surprise to him as it is to most people here. I wish him good luck. I have his album and as a product it's OK, but not the kind of music I could play over and over. The last track still leaves me wondering????

Regarding Joe's new album - if Seasick Steve can get on daytime radio on the playlist for every show, it's my job and the job of everyone on here to write to every show's presenter / producer to get Joe's latest album accepted as album of the week, with a different track played each day of the week. Now THAT, would lift Joe's radio profile a whole bunch. Strike whilst the irons hot and get TBOJH rail tie nailed into every shows e-mail address

Dont worry, i'ill just have to wear my Manu top at the Amsterdam gig:D That should mix it up a bit.
Back on topic, I have seen Steve a few times in the 80s in tiny venues in the Washington area. Seen him in the UK a couple of times too,  recently he did a awesome show at Wolverhampton Civic Hall (Joe is there in April). It was an electrifying show.  He wasnt picked up in the USA but has been noticed here big time. He sound is great, opening chords get right into to you. He tells a good story and really does dress like a hilly billy each and every day.
In washington I (amongst others) had a drink with him, his life stories are great to hear.
If you have not seen him, go, drinks lots of Jack Daniels, stomp your foot and holler.
Being totally non PC, his last concert was full single hot totty. Doesnt work when i am in my dungerees:D
Why is he so big here. The simple fact is we aint see anything like him since ZZtop.

I've seen Steve five times in the last eighteen months. Never fails to impress.

And like Joe he has sold out the RAH.

Perhaps they could do a show together

HARRUMPH I SAY!  blather on grumpies!  All this human exchange is beneath me

Who's in charge here?  I demand satisfaction!  How's that?  Oh Seasick Steve?  Oh Isn't he the drunk with half a guitar?  Oh well no wonder he's got the blues.  Oh balderdash.

Carry on! 
Zut Alors.

From what I've seen - this Seasick Steve doesn't play with a bassman, just a drummer.

Which is a shame, Jeff, because you could be in a blues band where the guitarist is way uglier than you. Imagine.

Love the fact that before going to the Brits party he was busking at the tube station. Thats what I call a meet 'n greet!

Nice photo's Martin , and well done on winning the vouchers , get some nice 'uns at Wolverhampton , Incidently just saw a TV Ad for "I started out with nothin"   it's a uncanny stardom but best of luck to him and he was on a music award show here too ... it's the blues and people are snappin it up
