Raw, honest, foot-tapping fun - By: K-Pax, 07 Aug 2008 
Like others, I saw the man on Jools Holland. I suppose the romanticin me loved the idea that this guy had experienced the lowest of the lows but had come through it all & was here playing his 3-string geetar live on the JH show. However, I liked what I heard & his enthusiasm for the blues was infectious. Okay, it's not as polished as the great blues musicians & he's not going to outdo Robert Cray for technical ability but just listen to the stories he tells & you'll be tapping your foot along. We all love to see people do well that have faced grim adversity & Seasick Steve provides a soulful, bizarre & honest approach to his version of the blues. So, stop being so cynical & give it a blast.
Modern Music - By: Jazz4, 25 Jul 2008 
Contemporary music troubles me, Ive been listening to blues for years & suddenly someone "new" plays the same stuff thats been around for decades & its "cool."
If you want to listen to this kind of music, listen to delta blues: son house, robert johnson. This is pretty unoriginal...thats not to say he's not talented, but the founders of this music get no recognition but this guy does? it makes no sense.
Thank Heavens for Jules - By: Mr. P. Tanner, 23 May 2008 
I am another who saw the performance on Jools' show & yet another who was amazed. I am new to the Blues so forgive me if I can't liken it to anything else. As I listened to this I could imagine myself sat on some wooden porch on the edge of a swamp listening to some real homestrung blues. Very raw but very real & all with three strings. Amazing stuff. If you enjoy the blues this is highly recommended - all from such an unimposing figure - he really looks like he just turns up with his geetar, beat box & nothing else.
Stunned! - By: Denis Delworth, 13 Feb 2008 I first heard a bit of him on the Jools Holland show & decided to give the album a go. Well, what can I say? Absolutely fantastic! Never a big fan of old time blues but this is something different.
Suprised - By: S. George, 13 Feb 2008 I Picked this album up as a "wonder if this is any good".
Worth a Laugh, Bit Tom Petty Esk, Love it!
