Seasick Steve es un tipo de 68 años que después de pasar la mayor parte de su vida moviendose de un lugar a otro del mundo se ha parado, un poco, ha cogido su guitarra de 3 cuerdas hecha de hojalata y se ha puesto a tocar blues.
Su verdadero nombre es Steve Wold y su vida ha sido de todo menos aburrida. Con 14 años huyo de los maltratos de su padrasto, dejando atras su casa, una casa que nunca más llegaria a tener de una manera conveccional. Se dedico a todo aquello que le fuera permitiendo hacer su vida
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
A very minor-key sad blues ballad!! From the 2011 album You Can´t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks.
Although it opens on Dm, it closes on the chord of Dm/C, so it just hangs there unresolved, adding to the melancholy.
