"I Started Out With Nothing And I Still Got Most Of It Left"
Brilliant - well worth a listen if you like crusty old southern fellas playin' blues and singin' bout' nothin' much at all
Been hearing about this guy for a while and recently picked up his album...

I used to work in a CD library and we rated seasick steve highly! I saw him live at latitude too, great sound and he tells stories in between his
songs!
Also he has a one string guitar that he made himself. Very locost and VERY cool.
Saw him on tv, very good. Apparently he's still after the guy that sold him that guitar. to get his money back
I think that's a good album, did you get the standard or the extended special edition? I personally prefer his previous album 'Dog House
Music'.
My bro also has some of his earlier stuff when he played with 'The level Devils' which he says is better still, but I can't comment on
that as I haven't got round to listening to that yet.

yeah you've got the standard version, the extended one has a 'bonus' cd, but you have to really enjoy his stories for it to be worth getting that! Only a few extra songs (although good ones) and a lot more rambling - about 20 minutes more!
I saw him Live in Brighton a few months back as the Father in Law had heard a few of his songs and liked them, so thought I'd go along to hear
for myself. I had heard a few snippets before we went, but live he was really really good.
Real stories in the songs too, you can tell they are all written on genuine life experiences.
He was good live on jules holland when i first saw him! I like him and am only 27. That makes me feel old.
Tap his name into youtube, the Jools shows are on there.....doghouse blues unbelievable, remember when it first showed - outstanding!!
