After his second album Seasick Steve won the Award for Best Breakthrough Act in UK in 2007. Then he made an all sold out UK tour, included performances at the Royal Albert Hall, The Edinburgh Queens Hall, the Grand Opera House in Belfast or the London Hammersmith Apollo. He was 66 at the time of breakthrough.
Before the success he was an itinerant street musician in France and Scandinavia. His first album, entitled Cheap, was released in Norway in 2001. He arrived to Europe from USA, where he was born in 1941. At 8 he learned to play the guitar from K.C. Douglas, who worked at his grandfather’s garage. K.C. was influenced by the great delta blues musician, Tommy Johnson. K.C. had a big hit in 1949, the Mercury Boogie. It was later renamed to Mercury Blues
Seasick Steve would be a hobo, travelled by freight trains sure, and worked as a seasonal farm worker, but sometimes joined various travelling shows. In the 1960s he started touring and performing with fellow blues musicians. Then he worked as session musician, studio engineer and producer for lil independent labels around Seattle in the 90s…
Some fellow musicians of his new album: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin, bass, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, organ), Jack White (White Stripes) and Luther Dickinson (Black Crows, guitar)…

NASHVILLE, TN Jack White’s Third Man Records to release the complete life-works of Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell and The Mississippi Sheiks on vinyl in chronological order. These performers were enormously popular in their time, but their songs are almost unlistenable for the ears of today.
Charley Patton (1891-1938), the most influential delta blues guitarist was such a big star that he didn’t wander all over the Mississippi Delta in contrast with fellows. He performed on pre-organized shows only. He drove the public crazy with his playing and tricks. Lot of his songs were recorded between 1929-30 and 1934.
Poor Blind Willie McTell (1898-1959) lost his eyesight in his childhood. Soon after lost his father, then his mother, so went whither he could. Wandered in Georgia with his 12 strings guitar. His records were frequently released between 1927 and 35, but under different names because he signed contracts with concurrent labels under different names. (It was a generally established custom in that time.) After his record of 1949 he became itinerant musician again. In 1956 a record shop owner recognized him at a corner in Atlanta. The man lured him to his shop with a bottle of corn whiskey. During some shows his last tracks were recorded there.
The Mississippi Sheiks trio had records between 1930-36. Everybody knows his greatest hit: Sitting On The Top Of The World. One of them, Bo Carter made a solo carrier with such unambiguous, expressive songs as Please Warm My Wiener!
Their songs were played and covered by rich and poor,
but the original performers lost behind the covers. They are.
The third items of series are coming soon.

The history of The Bloody Hollies has begun in 1999, when Wesley Doyle (vocals, guitar, harp) demobilized from the Marine Corps and formed the band with a buddy – by his own admission – under the influence of AC/DC, DEVO, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and The Oblivians. Besides, because of the slide guitar and Wesley’s singing voice their music resembles to the Australian Rose Tattoo too.
Their 1st album has released by a relatively unknown label, Garage-Pop, but the second one come out with Sympathy for the Record Industry. Some label mates: White Stripes, Bassholes, Billy Childish, Bob Log, GG Allin, Melvins, Mummies, R.L. Burnside, Roky Erickson, Oblivians, Spacemen 3, Tav Falco and so on. The band has moved from Buffalo (NY) to the other sites of the States, San Diego (CA). (I think it is the most remote city from Buffalo within US.) Their last three albums have released by the Alive Records, and they don’t roll the shit.

Art rockers’ surreal case
In accordance of the new „Made in America” act the Federal Trade Commission barred export of their new album, titled: „We’re an American Band” in 2005. Under the legislation, companies advertising products with the term „America”, „American”, „US” or USA” must file certification documentation that „all or virtually all” of the product-including processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Since the band claimed „we are an American band” so the FTC is required proof of national origin of each band member. They refused it. Otherwise the „We’re an American Band” is a big hit by Grand Funk Railroad. By the MX-80
