Seasoned blues luminary SEASICK STEVE (born Steven Gene Leach 75 years ago
in Oakland, California) will launch his 14th longplayer, baptized The Last Season
Of America on September 18.
He just dropped a new taster, already the 4th, named BOOTRAPS.
SS: “You can’t really pick yourself up by your
bootstraps, but you can sure as hell try.”
Renowed blues addict SEASICK STEVE (born Steven Gene Leach 75 years ago in Oakland, California) will release his 14th LP, baptized The Last Season Of America on September 18.
Press info: “In 2024, Steve and his wife Elisabeth took a road trip across America where
he witnessed the poverty and divisiveness in the context of the upcoming election.
They were in a New Orleans club where a house band leader welcomed two Belgian musicians on stage by saying “welcome to the last season of America”.
It led to a deeply personal, heartfelt reflection on the state of
his home nation with a new protest record in the truest sense.”
So far, the man shared 3 tasters, withBAD THINGS
as the one I can’t stop listening and cheering to.
Here’s a semi-live version (studio verion + some enthousiastic fans in the room). Steve raps like the best on this irristible hip-hop stomper that wipes the floor
with that American idiot in the White House.
