The Best 40 Albums Of 2009!
See who makes number one on Gigwise's countdown...
- 40. Seasick Steve: 'Man From Another Time' (Atlantic) – Arguably the career zenith for the bearded wonder that is Seasick Steve. From start to finish, the record is a perfect storm of his lo fi blues and as rough & ready as the bizarre home made instruments he plays on. Yet on this record he pushes past this boundary into electric rock, and in doing so captures the rough essence of blues. This is the record that proves Steve as significant as any of the famous blues guitarists of the last 30 years. (Jon Bye)
