I love the art of verbal storytelling. There is a voice in writing, but the pacing, intonation and character of storytelling makes it a special experience when done right. Recently I have fallen in love with Stuart Mclean and his Vinyl Cafe, and blues artist Seasick Steve. Both have the ability to weave words and moments into a masterpiece as enrapturing as a net and as pleasant as a sunny afternoon.
Seasick Steve - A Take Away Show - Part 2 from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
The latest Seasick Steve album has some excellent stories of when he was a hobo jumping trains. This is just a taste of his tale prowess. (Plus a taste of his amazing blues)
And I couldn't find any Stuart Mclean, but do yourself a favour and subscribe to the Vinyl Cafe podcast.
