I Started Out With Nothin’ and I Still Got Most of it Left!

Posted on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 | No Comments » | all & music

These past few days at work I have been listening a lot to a guy called Seasick Steve on Spotify. I really like this guys style, it so different and original from everyone at the moment. I first became aware of Seasick Steve on Later with Jools Holland a couple of years back. I was amazed how he could create the deep southern blues sound with some of the most peculiar instruments you will ever see.

These include a “Three-String Trance Wonder”, “One-Stringed Diddley Bow”, “Mississippi Drum Machine” and the “Morris Minor Guitar”. I’m not going to go into detail on these but there is always a little known search engine called Google!

I will however provide some thoughts on his music and I highly recommend his album titled, “I Started Out With Nothin’ and I Still Got Most of it Left”. Isn’t this just one of the best album names you have ever heard?

The self confessed hobo who has come from a poor background has not forgotten who or what he is through his fame, he just loves to play the blues. This in my eyes is a great trait for anyone and I think the above album title reflects this.

Check the album out at his official website below.
