Album: Seasick Steve, Man from Another Time (Atlantic)

Everyone's favourite pro hobo returns and, while this album may not be as charmingly titled as last year's I Started Out With Nothing and I Still Got Most of It Left, there's still plenty of voodoo blues to be squeezed out of those one-stringed geetars.

His stated aim, as per, is to "give people's ears a rest from all that digital shit". And these ears have been nicely rested. Weird that a sixtysomething singing about driving his tractor can feel like a musical antidote. But weird is exactly what the music biz could do with more of.
