About Me |
|
"The incomparable, inexplicable blues savant, C.W. Stoneking" Mohair Slim - PBS F.M. C.W. Stoneking, is a musician who draws influence from pre-war blues, jazz, 1920s calypso, folklore, and personal experience to produce his original songs. Accompanied with his trusty steel bodied dobro guitar and tenor banjo, or with his brass band, the 'Primitive Horn Orchestra' Stoneking's songs range in style from lonesome field holler blues, to cheeky hokum duets, to full blown 'jungle jazz' epics. C.W. Stoneking's album 'King Hokum' recorded in 2005, contained 11 original songs and highlighted C.W.'s skill as a composer as well as showcasing his tremendous vocal and instrumental style. Conjuring the atmosphere of 1930s Southern blues with Stoneking's unique storytelling style, the backing of his band the Primitive Horn Orchestra, and the use of found sounds and samples. King Hokum is as original and diverse an album as it is an authentic sounding one. 2008 sees the release of C.W. Stoneking's latest album, 'Jungle Blues'. Inspired in part by Stoneking's amazing experience as a survivor of a shipwreck off Africa's West Coast. 'Jungle Blues' is due for release in Australia on October 18th 2008 on King Hokum Records/Shock. Pre-order a signed copy of JUNGLE BLUES now !!!! (click photo) Australian KING HOKUM C.D. ALBUM out through King Hokum Records/Shock European KING HOKUM C.D. ALBUM. Released by renowned Swiss label, Voodoo Rhythm Records KING HOKUM REVIEWS: "This sounds as if someone set up a microphone in a back room around 1927 and recorded direct to wax the songs of an itinerant blues man who does amusing party pieces with friends as well as mournful turns, who does New Orleans swing and plantation work songs, who plays his guitar and banjo as if they are as natural a part of him as his hooch-roughened vocal cords...a darn fine album." Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald, Album Review "' King Hokum' is a delight. This is real music, real blues and musicianship that can only come from being able to really play. The stand out album of the last half decade. " Tim Ritchie, ABC Radio National "Every song on this album would have been top 10 seventy year ago....the most incomparably original album of 2006. There will not be a similar album in the record store this Christmas. King Hokum is the first 10/10 rating I've ever given." thedwarf.com.au, Album Review. "He's a national treasure, this guy's straight out of the dust bowl of the 1930s. I'm just amazed that he exists because I never thought I'd see anything like it." J. Walker (Machine Traslations), recording engineer/co-producer of 'King Hokum' "Four stars" Rolling Stone I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 |
