Amazon.co.uk Review:
The most unlikely of stars, sixty-something Seasick Steve Wold might have 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

- Seasick Steve - The man, the hat, the beard and the music.
I first saw / heard Seasick Steve (Steve Wold) on Jools Holland's 'Later' TV show on the BBC a couple of years ago. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when he appeared on my TV screen. He looked more like a busker than a star in the making, but by the time he had finished his song, I was a fan, along with thousands of others who saw him that night. In short, he blew us all away. He was on the show again recently in order to publicise this new album and guess what, he blew us away again! The star ... Read More

- Get the blues
Some people have got quite wound up about this guy being popular when there are lots of other "real" blues artists who deserve more attention... I'm no expert, but Seasick Steve's music seems fairly authentic and it's a good listen. The spoken introductions are a little annoying after a while, though, (to me, at least). Maybe he'll lead people on to other sorts of blues, which has to be a good thing. And if you like this, can I recommend you give Chris Whitley a try?
Rating: - loved it
I will be honest, this popped up on my screen as an "other people have bought this" recommendation from Amazon, and I bought it on the strength of other curstomer reviews and mainly for the title - I really wanted this CD on my shelf.
I have just listened to it for the first time - and you know what? It is excellent, I love it. Strongly recommended.
Rating:
- Not the down dirty boogie I was hoping for, but still good.
I bought this album like many others I guess, after catching steve on Jools Holland and watching some live performances on youtube.
I was a little dissapointed, now dont get me wrong, I'm not slamming this album, its very good, with some nice songs and polished production values, and therein lies the problem for me, this didnt sound like the stuff I heard elsewhere, its.. sanitized? It doesent seem to have the raw enrgy and refreshing simplicity, there are drums and percussion and backing ... Read More
Rating:
- terrible, just terrible ..
There's nothing on offer in this album. Absolutely terrible effort. Do yourself a favour and buy a Supersuckers CD instead.
