Post Description

"Mutated blues for the 21st century" is Slims motto and Soulcraft affirms this with a blistering trawl through the deep and dark depths of his blues psyche. If your looking for that revivalist sound then look away now as this is not an album for your average footapping blues mingler. This album lyrically conjures up a palette that is in touch with todays language and social mores. "Do some t'ai-chi, less alcohol more herbal tea, those panic attacks are psychosomatic, relax" on 'Heaven can wait', tells the story of modern anxities regarding ones health where we are all too informed on our "condition" via the media of the internet. The jug/blow-bottle breathing underpins the black humour that lies within this song and others, frivolous its not.
The album opens up with a dual entwinned track, 'Soulcraft/Make perfect contact with me', which points to the main themes of birth, death and resurrection that pepper this CD, the latter sounding like gospel-twang as played by The Doors. There's the bravado of 'I've got so much soul' preclaiming that, "This jitterbug blues is gonna make you sing, throw in the whole damn rhythm with the kitchen sink". 'Hold it tight' and 'Shoot the dog' deal with the concerns of recession and passive consumption as seen through the medium of 'YouTube' and the red top newspapers, observing open mouthed as "your credit card number runs downstream" as "Some define themselves by what they have, the haves and have-nots are what they truly spend".
