 He's Back! October 21, 2009

I first heard Seasick Steve a few years ago now on Jools Holland's Hootenanny and was blown away. With lyrics written by himself and simple catchy music Steve produces the kind of music that others can only dream of. It is refreshing in a world of music that has become in many cases too commercialised that people like Seasick Steve are still around keeping things pure - especially on the Blues scene, where the songs are supposed to speak to us.
On this album are in total 12 tracks with Dan Magnusson playing drums on 7 of them. Where Steve really excels is when he is playing and singing by himself and these tracks are really good. All in all this is a brilliant album to have. If you are looking at this item then you probably already know Steve's work from previous albums, but if this is your first time then you are in for a real treat if you get this.
Although there are 12 tracks on this there are in fact 13 because if you listen to the last track it is extended, and after everyone says their goodbyes the song plays; Amy LaVere sings on this track.

I did'nt know that Steve existed until by chance I heard him on a recent tv show in the UK. That was this last Sunday and have now dowloaded and played his 'Man From Another Time' album. This probably the best folk-blues music I have ever heard and cannot stop playing the CD. It is my intention to buy his other releases.
For any one who likes this kind of music it is a 'must buy', even if you are iffy about it get it you will enjoy every minute.Man From Another Time. Your foot will not stop tapping!
Love it! October 27, 2009

Got the free track from Amazon. Normally would not have touched with a barge-pole. did not think I liked blues and his picture put me off - he looks a bit Hicksville. but the free tack was great and so got the whole album straight away. all the tracks are as good as the freebie, some good singing, some good tunes, and a great laid-back feel. a class album.
One word...' BRILLIANT ' October 28, 2009

Now that he's getting used to his richly deserved fame this modestly wonderful man only goes out and makes his best album so far. What a great man... What an interesting life...What a brilliant album. The irony of it is that I can even relate to the title track 'Man from another time'. Steve could've written the damned thing about me. The style of the track 'Diddley Bo' gives us a great insight into one of his musical routes/influences. There is not one duff track on offer here at all......Look your gonna buy it anyway if you've got any liking for Steve and his 'zinging-bluesy-boogie' style.... You can't not do so!.... What I'm Saying is stop reading this, get jiggy with that computers mouse,do the deed and treat yourself to a goodly dollop of Steves marvellous musical stew.
Good luck,
Eamonn
Doghouse does it for me!! November 2, 2009

From the one-string Diddleybo to the three string transformer, Steve has knocked out yet another fantastic album. Every track is infused with the essence of this gentle and deeply souful man (hear Banjo Song), and when he's rockin', no-one does it better. Love the man, love his music, can't wait to see him this month in London.
