Exposure 48
With so much attention, hype and column inches being dedicated to the talented and charismatic blues man Seasick Steve its a real delight to discover that there's much more action going on in the blues genre if you dig about a little bit.
So, after not much digging about we found a certain 34 year old australian by the name of C.W Stoneking. HIs story reads like one of his Hokukm blues songs.... Born in '74 (thats 1974, not 1874) in Australia and raised in an aboriginal community until 9. By the age of 11 he was playing guitar, moved to Melbourne, practiced and then not long after kicked off performing in his super authentic 1920-30's style (complete with weird australian/deep south drawl).
He now performs, tours and records with the Primitive Horn Band, with whom he has just released his newest LP, titled Jungle Blues, from which this track 'The Do or Die' is taken....
