I Started Out With Nothin' and I Still Got Most of It Left
(Brand:Warner Bros.)
The most unlikely of stars, sixty-something Seasick Steve Wold mighthave started out with nothin', but these days he can headline the
Royal Albert Hall. The second solo album from the much travelled
bluesman (and, let's not forget, studio owner--he didn't suddenly step
off a boxcar with a demo tape in hand--refines the sound that made
2006's Dog House Music so instantly appealing. Guests include Ruby
Turner, KT Tunstall (playing rather than singing) and Nick Cave and
Grinderman--Cave and Steve duet on their collaboration "Just Like a
King". The title track, "Started out With Nothin'", is as catchy as it
is wise, "One True" laments Steve's late dog ("my one true friend", of
course) and the catchy full-band "Happy Man", featuring Turner and
Tunstall is as near as Seasick gets to offering a single. Without the
visual impact of seeing an elderly man tell travel stories in between
torturing a three string guitar while kicking a wooden box, I Started
out With Nothin' and I Still Got Most of It Left can only offer a
simulacrum of his live show, but his crude appeal remains obvious even
as his sound gets smoother. --Steve Jelbert...

Dog House Music
(Brand:Bronzerat)
Seasick Steve is Steve Wold, a moustachioed American bluesman who, onDog House Music, plays American roots music with the tight-belt
economy and authentic spirit of the genre's originators (there's a
lineage here, too – Steve was taught his first chords by Delta
bluesman KC Douglas). A long-term street-dweller, Wold's
instrumentation is simplistic in the extreme: a three-stringed trance
guitar, a slide instrument known as 'the one-stringed diddy-bo', and
the Mississippi Drum Machine, a wooden box that provides the most
rudimentary percussion. In the true blues spirit, Seasick Steve sings
his life. For an autobiography of sorts, head for 'Dog House Boogie',
a phlegmatic timeline that commences at the age of four with his
parent's divorce, and rambles off through several decades of vagrant
living and downhome manners. 'Hobo Low' is perhaps the sharpest, best
distilled take on Steve's drifter philosophy, his voice raising to
quivering, booming peaks over sparse stabs of blues guitar. 'Save Me',
meanwhile, sees the diddy-bo make an appearance – a taut, trembling
twang that resembles an amplified rubber band. If this review makes
Dog House Music sound bare-bones, well, it is – but everyone from
blues aficionados to White Stripes fans should find something to love
here. --Louis Pattison...
