Duke Garwood : Sweet Back (single) (UK,2004)****
This sounds like very original blues “inspired from the bottom” both with conscious guitar playing and deep-down-into-the haze-vocals, very much like early let’s say Louisiana blues. It is accompanied by very sparse drum rhythms by Paul May, played like a vibrating background, which makes it even better. Highly recommended to those people who like the “real” blues feeling, in a kind of “acid” way. On “Blow blossom” we also hear a kind of high droning sound in the back. A very good production for a somewhat minimal, short expression like this. Look forward to here more from him in the future !
According to http://www.normanrecords.co :
“This sounds like Charlie Parr at 16rpm. Its great lo-fi blues with slide guitar - there's a bit of Tom Waits in here. A brilliant off kilter oddity.”
and according to http://www.phonicarecords.co.uk/detail.aspx?ID=2536 :
"Well it says on the back that he recorded this single in Brixton but it sure as hell sounds as if it came right out of the mid west blues country. Fragile blues musings."
