Two Morris Minor Hubcaps and a Broomstick WTF? Seasick Steve

[gwtwdbss]

I received a link to this tune from my nephew last night. It's stuck in my head today. How a guy can take two hubcaps and and a broomstick and wail on it the way he does is is far beyond my comprehension. I just know I like it. The music is kinda like a cross between hillbilly and rock with a powerful bass man and an animal on the drums. I had never heard of Seasick Steve before but I will have to add seeing him to the bucket list.
Ya gotta love the line "Wanna put a little fire in my life(I like to believe he sings Wanna put a little fire in my pipe but I like to make up lyrics to suit me on certain songs) Climb a little higher, that is right"

I seen him on Top Gear a couple years ago, he's quite a cat. Hadn't heard of him before that.

He's from the USA but has a huge fan base in the UK. Good stuff.

Never heard of him but like the music! I love slide guitar. Sounds like a little blues thrown in the mix.

This reminds of a guy I used to work with. He's originally from Canada and is one of those who can play just about anything. He built a fiddle from a toilet bowl plunger.

I hadn't heard of him either until a few weeks ago when he popped up on a youtube video with Jack White. Good stuff!

He was on Top Gear a few years back and it made me look into his stuff. Not too bad.

He has a very solid blues core. Have one or two of his albums, and well worth checking out.
And, yes, picked up the tip from his top gear (UK/ real version) appearance.
