Introduction

@ablaze has been doing 3 tune Tuesday for quite a while and we love the idea of it and some of the posts @stickupmusic has been doing it but I though I would join in too. it is a great way to listen to new music which is always something we want to do!

Our picks

Now I remember when Seasick Steve hit the scene years ago and me and some of the other boys were blown away with his music. It had all the vibe we love about music. Its Raw and pure energy and also it genuine vibes meant it took one listen and we were hooked. We were lucky enough to see him play in Brighton and he did not disappoint, maybe one of the best gigs ever!

You can find out more about his history and all that jazz here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasick_Steve

Song 1

Do you get more bluesy than this "Dog house boogie" This is so raw and fun it is unbelieve bale. It is so vibey I am not sure how you could make it better. it is perfect in its imperfection! I picked a live version as I feel he comes across in his pure form when he is playing live.

Song 2

I think this was the first song I heard by him. This is on Jools Holland who is a legend for bringing new music in the UK and also has a great band. Now this is another live version of course and I love you can see how comfortable and happy he is playing his music. He is ultimately a master of his genre and you can really tell in this video.

Song 3

Now the third song, again a live versions shows one of the other things we love about him, his range of instruments. He plays some interesting hand made/home made instruments like the "lap steel" he has in this video. yet again you can see his natural Charisma as a performer wich his charm and confidence oozing though his performance! Again great groove and vibes.
