Seasick Steve

November 17th, 2008 by karenschlegel

Seeing as my twitter on Seasick Steve provoked some sort of reaction I thought I would do a very quick post about him…

Why I love him:

1.  I love blues music. particularly the earthy 3 string guitar type

2.  He’s had a hard life, and you can hear it.  I like it when singers sound like they have had a hard life.

3.  He has a kind of bizarre universal appeal; my dance music loving friend is also an appreciator, as is a friend who is so obsessed with punk he has the name of his favourite punk band (Leftover Crack… enough said) tattooed down his leg.  The wonderful beardy hobo that is Seasick Steve transcends this.

4.  Only a blues artist can have an album called ‘I started off with nothin’ and I still got most of it left’

5.  His music is awesome!

And so, for all our appreciation:
