Best British Blues band today?

[Oldpinkman]

This was going nowhere on the "such fun" valve discussion thread, so it needs another thread of its own. I am trying both to promote my friends band, but also get enough interest to get a vinyl lp produced of their most recent album "Killing it" and maybe their new (not yet released) album.

Please have a listen to them and post a comment. Dave Migden and the Dirty Words - http://www.davidmigdenandthedirtywords.com/music-page

My avatar is the band, with my mate Joe in the front. Since I last posted about them they have won a national blues competition, and as a prize flown to New Brunswick Canada, where they won that too. Just think how good they'd sound on your HiFi!!

Thanks

Richard

Not bad the kind of music I can enjoy live
Some nice slide playing you can see he influenced by Ry

Not bad, a bit to clean sounding for me. I like my blues dirty. I will give the songs more of a play before i make my mind up. I feel from first listen that the singer good as he his, does not cut it for me.

Agree with you John. They look to be a great band to see live.

The singer's voice sounds a bit like a 'gutsy' version of Keb Mo. Certainly 'dirty' enough for me; if you want something more dirty try Lightnin' Hopkins, or Furry Lewis.


However until they produce a complete CD that I can purchase, rather than downloads (I've only had a quick look on Amazon), they will remain unavailable to me.

Will watch them with interest - thanks for introducing them to us Richard

Since this thread is the bastard son of a drifted thread and that thread was the bastard son of a drifted thread, I feel duty bound to try to steer this thread to a discussion about armadillos.

Oh all right then ......yes, I like blues, Richard. I'd watch the videos if I could make the buggers work.

I can get you a CD - well recorded actually. Of course, what I would like to get us all is a vinyl LP. If I can get enough interest Iill take a chance on it and hope to sell them to the independent record shops too, but never having done anything like this before, I would appreciate as much support as possible. Pretty sure I could get the 24 bit master.

They are planning to record a new album in a single 2 week session soon - they have written and rehearsed it - big change from the way they used to work (new management). They are not "easy" and have quite a varied and often "odd" style, but they are awesome live. As I should be able to confirm in about 2 hours time. First time I will get to hear tracks from the new album.

Maybe thats why he uses that bloody megaphone so much
