Selwyn Birchwood – Electric Swamp Funkin' Blues (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Selwyn Birchwood has been one of the most compelling figures working in contemporary blues since he burst onto the scene in Tampa, building a sound that owes as much to the swampy heat of Florida as it does to Chicago's electric tradition. Electric Swamp Funkin' Blues finds him doubling down on that regional identity, a reminder that the blues never stopped evolving, it just needed the right hands to push it forward.
Rolling Stone calls award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood "a remarkable, contemporary bluesman... a powerhouse young guitarist and soulful vocalist." Now, this mesmerizing guitarist, lap steel master and cinematic songwriter unleashes the powerful new album Electric Swamp Funkin' Blues, further blazing his own musical trail.Birchwood's sound is an intoxicating mix of deep blues, blistering, psychedelic-tinged rock, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul, played and sung with true blues passion. From an emotionally devastating whisper to a soul-baring scream, Birchwood's vocals command attention. Schooled in the blues' storied traditions (he toured with and was mentored by the famed Sonny Rhodes), Birchwood maps out a dazzling future for the blues with his visionary music. Selwyn Birchwood is one of the hardest-touring artists on the Alligator roster, and will support the new release with shows throughout the U.S. He's no stranger to European stages either, with plenty of tours there under his belt, and having just completed over a month's worth of European dates, 27 shows in all, with 24 taking place in France, three in Belgium and one in Czechia.
