Seasick steve

Posted by: EAROTICA on 30 April 2013

Hello all,

On hearing that seasick Steve has brought out a new album I decided to dig out some of his older ones. I had forgotten how good an how well recorded they are aswell. Then I realised I don't have any more music of this genre or style an would really love to discover some more. So could you please suggest any seasick steve style music for me please.

Many thanks,

Mike

Have you tried Left Lane Cruiser? I'd go for the album Bring Yo Ass to the Table.

Hi Mike

Have you tried Pandora or Spotify?

Anyways what about The Black Keys (their early releases)? Jack White's oeuvre? Willis Earl Beal? Or any of the Delta-style blues legends?

Seasick Steve did some production work with Modest Mouse, a well-known band here in the Pacific Northwest. Good stuff.

Hello Andy, I haven't bought the album yet but have liked what I've heard so far. They look amazing live. How are you getting on with the vinyl from record store day ?

Thanks for the heads up on left lane cruiser. I also found radio Moscow whilst looking at their stuff. Check out the album brain cycles.

Have not had a chance to play them much as I am auditioning some Tellurium Q Black speaker cables.

I am playing more familiar material to test them, so far very good results!!

Awesome you'll have to let me know what you think. I'm thinking about selling my lp12 and getting an rp8. Need to do a demo first though and see what I think

Posted on: 01 May 2013 by apye!

What is the upgrade path like on a rp8?

Posted on: 01 May 2013 by EAROTICA

There isn't one really. Since buying my cd555 the lp12 doesn't rock as much and to get some improvement id need to spend alot. So the idea is demo the rp8 and compare it to my set up and take it from there. I can pretty much sell my lp12 and pay for the rp8 outright. It would be years before I could afford to make any improvements on the lp12. I'd need a cirkus upgrade and a decent ps and your talking big bucks. I want hopefully a big improvement for little bucks. I've heard some good reports from people on here so gonna give it ago and see what I think.

Hi again Mike,

Hello Richard, Thanks for the links I enjoyed watching the sea sick steve live recording video. Hound dog certainly knows how to rock doesn't he

Hope your having a good weekend? Mike

Posted on: 12 August 2013 by Dreadatthecontrols

Hi Mike, Yes enjoyed the weekend, I hope likewise. I have quite a lot of new vinyl that I have been working my way through.

Not sure from your last message, but did you check out Hound Dog Taylor, I have a few titles on original LP worth seeking out or they are still available on CD, and if you like do try RL Burnside.

At the time of writing I am looking at the Seasick Steve direct to acetate LP which has just been delivered, will let you know how it sounds soon. Have also opened a separate topic on the subject. You will probably know this but in case, have you tried Seasick Steves earlier stuff before he came to widespread attention - Seasick Steve & The Level Devils.

Cheers

Just looking in once in a while,

if you like Sea Sick Steve, have a listen to the original.

Have a listen to early Otis Taylor his music is very personal about him self and his fore bearers and the atrocities they had to endure, real blues from the heart of Southern States of America.

Steve

Posted on: 12 August 2013 by Steve J

Richard, I've been asked where to find this LP in the UK as well. Supposedly Amazon and some others have a long 2-3 month wait on this.

Posted on: 13 August 2013 by matt podniesinski

That is an awfully long wait. Granted that I am not in the UK, but I ordered my direct to acetate LPs on Sunday from Third Man and the expected delivery date is tomorrow.

Posted on: 13 August 2013 by EAROTICA

Hello there, Yes I had a great weekend. BBQ booze and motorbikes. I even managed to squeeze some music listening and I fixed a gas leak for someone so even earned some money. Did you get through all your music? Yes I did and it was very good. Can you recommend a well recorded cd copy aswell as the vinyl. I've just ordered seasick steve third man live which one assuming is the right record? Even if its not its a bargain at £10. We watched a film the other day and heard a song we really liked and thAnks to a recommend of shazam from j.n we discovered it was this Otis fella and plan to discover more of his music soon

thanks everyone.

I got my copy from Resident records in Brighton, they do a good mail order service. Ordered mine on Saturday delivered Monday. £18.99 plus £3.50 postage

Heres the link
http://www.resident-music.com/productdetails&path=1857&product_id=26545

If you buy from here you will also be supporting a proper independent record shop, rather than someone like Amazon, which is something I believe we should all be doing as music lovers.

Also worth checking out, and they are usually my first port of call when online record shopping is Diverse Vinyl in Wales, excellent service and have recently linked up with Audio-t doing vinyl roadshows around the country. Drop them an email or phone, they can usually source mostly anything available
