You don’t get more blues than Kingfish – it’s deep in his soul. He is from Clarksdale Mississippi, right at the crossroads. This is his 2nd and latest album. Not only is he a killer guitar player, but he has such a warm tone to his voice. This album will appeal to the whole blues community as we have more traditional arrangements alongside some modern heavy blues – with hints of RnB and funk.
One of my favourite tracks is the slow groove of Another Life Goes By. Lyrically, it has a very strong message, mixed with a super cool groove and some great clean guitar. I’m a sucker for a good shuffle, and My Bad is a seriously killer tune. He is the king of the clean tone, and album closer Something In The Dirt is as traditional as it gets – the guitar sounds just superb. It’s great to see young blues guys breaking through.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
