French one man blues band Dirty Deep can get louder than a lot of full bands. His second full-length Shotgun Wedding is about booze, trouble and women - the trifecta of this kind of music for more than a century. It's good old basic 12-bar blues, delivered with passion and gusto. He nods to Rory Gallagher by way of Willie Dixon and Blind Willie Johnson, whose treatment of John the Revelator gets a fast paced update. He can tell story by dropping into a pissed-off rant (Midnight Bus) or by getting rough, angry and hoarse for a foot tapping blues stomper (She's A Devil Inside.)
Recommended if you like Low Society and Bacon Fat Louis.
Shotgun Wedding is released on CD thru Hell Prod. Digital via iTunes.
