What a joyous, shout out loud, then take it down and brood for a minute, then start bein' happy again because that's just the best choice to make cd! From "Diddley Bo" (which makes me want to grab a 2x4 and some wire RIGHT NOW) to "Seasick Boogie" - everything in SS's music is near perfect. I don't pretend to be a blues know-it-all, or even know-it-some, but there's just something about the production, the riffs, the humor, and the raw energy that comes together to make this the cd that I have in constant rotation for the forseeable future.

Why have we let Seasick Steve fall through the cracks. Holy crap this guy is great!
He can get more music out of one string or a busted up 6 string with 3 strings missing than most guitarists get out of 12 strings! He is a great blues and folk artist and a great story teller. We need to get him state side and put him on a pedestal! All hail Seasick Steve! Watch his "Doghouse Boogie" video. I repeat my earlier rant-HOLY CRAP!

EACH ONE OF SS'S ALBUMS JUST OUTDOES THE LAST. THE MAN IS AWESOME!! EACH SONG JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DO SOME SOFT SHOE SIDESTEPPIN'.
I HOPE HE MAKES MUSIC FOR YEARS TO COME.
THANX FOR THE TIME STEVE!!

Seasick Steve is not only a man form another time, he truly is a man from another world... another world not heard from enough. I was actually "turned on" to this guy by an exchange student from England. OK, so I don't get satellite radio... but if you love Americana roots aka blues, old timey music from the "holler" with a pugged in flare from home made instruments, this belongs in your collection. Steve's latest enjoys a spot in my collection between Derek Trucks and Levon Helm, and he occasionally snuggles up to some Rory Block. On top of his nitty gritty picking, his lyrics will have you listening, laughing, and loving this this guy. Play it loud, play it often and enjoy with a tall glass of Knob Creek.
And turn YOUR friends on to him...

Another great CD from Seasick Steve. If you are a fan, a must to add to your collection. We wished he'd come to the US more often.

...since have bought all his stuff. Just wonderful and a funny and humble man it appears on seeing his UK TV apperances. America, this man is 70 why so long to find and unleash him?

The amount of musical talent this man has is outstanding. He builds and plays instruments as a pro with a terrific voice and song wrighting skills to boot. This is the total package.

The title "Man from Another Time" pretty much sums up the story Seasick Steve (aka Steve Wold), the vagabond guitarist and singer who has apparently been drifting across the globe as musical tumbleweed for some time yet his music is pretty much steeped in the blues with more than a healthy portion of roots or Americana for seasons.

This collection of dark, raw sounding, stripped down tunes---recorded using analog technology---sounds best with the volume turned up and expectations set aside. Mr. Wold plays all manner of stringed instruments, and the songs featuring his sole accompanist, drummer Dan Magasson, hold their own with any of the guitar-drum duos that are all the rage these days.

this whole album ,excluding the first childlike 1 string song was great.the didley bow doesnt transend what it is.,a poorly concieved instrument,that sounds terrible.
