Seasick Steve - Happy Man

This month the hobo hero Seasick Steve gets around to releasing the first single from his new album, I Started Out With Nothin’… and I Still Got Most of it Left. Happy Man is a gospel-style blues track which has the smoky sound of New Orleans. It also features guest appearances from KT Tunstall and Ruby Turner. They sing with raw emotion while Steve plays that 3-string guitar to perfection. It’s backed up with the rolling train of a track called St Louis Slim - it's quintessential Seasick Steve and a must-have for all those folks still to discover the man. [Georgina Merry]
