Christone "Kingfish" Ingram – 662 (CD)
Product Details
Clarksdale, Mississippi has been sending blues to the world for over a century, and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, born there in 2000, carries that geographic weight with full awareness. He was still a teenager when Buddy Guy started calling him the future of the blues, and 662 makes a strong case that the future has already arrived. At 21, he's writing about the pull between home and ambition with the specificity of someone who has actually felt it.
The defining blues voice of his generation releases the eagerly-anticipated follow-up to his Grammy-nominated debut, 2019's Kingfish. 662 (the area code of his Clarksdale stomping grounds) is a powerful and personal album, a fiery coming-of-age record. The lyrics reflect Ingram's newfound maturity and how your roots inspire where you're heading. Musically, the record delivers a heaping helping of the deep, visceral Ingram guitar magic his fans love, fueling a combustible mix of molten blues rock, down home shuffles and soulful grooves.
