Tales from the Badside of Town

My Kind of Bluesman by Maria Daines

     

I'm finding this song so good for so many different reasons. 1) Your voice is scarred with melancholy, a deep passion for what you are singing to us. 2) This is not usual style blues, it's almost a waltz through all the good bits of what's grand about the blues, though I hear some psychedelia in there too & some traditional in the melody you convey so beautifully. 3) Love the live drums, love the sound of that guitar taking us along for the ride, your storytelling honest voice is what has captured me the most & I can safely say I'll be spending a lot of time here on the strength of this song alone. I'm looking forward to acquainting myself with your work from here on in. 4) I also love the title and you do exactly what it says on the signpost. Superb. I think you remind me of Tom Waits in small inflections here & there and I idolise the man, but you are most certainly you, nobody else and that's the spirit of this song for me, you are unique. Yes, I'm a fan. Thank you.
