Description
After a successful foray into the world of Americana and the release of their most raucous album to date (2016’s Twisted Love) the decision to record a raft of iconic blues tunes might seem like a surprise - almost sideways - move. Far from it. “When Spike and I met Chris Ingham from Ramblin’ Man Fair he floated the idea of doing a blues set at this year’s festival and we loved the idea” said guitarist Guy Griffin. “Why not do something different to the norm? And at that point we sensed an opportunity to make a blues record. I suppose the trick was giving these blues classics a unique twist and that’s what we’ve tried to do.” And on White Trash Blues the genre’s legends come thick and fast. Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Chuck Berry and Billy Boy Arnold are all afforded a unique Quireboys makeover. Never has Spike sounded so authentic and the band so audibly confident. “The album came together very organically but they are songs everyone has played at different times over the years and they feel like they’re part of our history” said guitarist Paul Guerin. “ “We didn’t just want to do carbon copies of these great old songs but at the same time we wanted to pay due respect to the people behind the songs” said keyboard player Keith Weir. “I think we’ve managed to strike the right balance.”
