BIG DADDY WILSON – Hard Time Blues
LP – Black Vinyl
Big Daddy Wilson, the well-respected North Carolina-born bluesman, who made his name on the European scene with acclaimed albums like Love Is The Key (2009) Thumb A Ride (2011), I’m Your Man (2013), has walked a winding road to finally come to record these Hard Time Blues. With the release of Deep In My Soul in 2019, Daddy Wilson felt his music and career had come full-circle in style. “I see it as a journey,” he said of his incredible backstory. “It’s the journey of a man who found himself deep in this beautiful music called the blues and finally, after 25 years, made it back home But the road did not end there, and Wilson’s new album is taking things even a few steps further: “Hard Time Blues Is a reflection of the time we are living in right now and all the anxieties that life brings.Corona, Poverty, Injustice and other hardships. It also embraces the different styles of Big Daddy Wilson, Blues, Soul, R & B, Country and Gospel . Like Willie Dixon says:” Blues is the Root, everything else is the fruit.” My intent with this album was to show a more modern side of Big Daddy Wilson. To reach out a bit more, to use the Soul and R & B that has influenced me throughout the years. But I still wanted to be true to the blues and my spiritual roots.
