Release: Seasick Steve - Love & Peace

Seasick Steve is set to release his new album, ‘Love & Peace’ on July 24.

 

‘Love & Peace’ sees Steve mixing up all of his much-loved ingredients to deliver a fresh new record that offers the perfect antidote for the troubled times in which we live. Full of hope for the future, it’s a great mix of boogie, blues, rock, Americana and folk – all delivered in Seasick Steve’s unique style. It’s a sizzler of an album that he can’t wait to release.

 

“In these crazy times seems to me there just ain’t enough love and peace to go around,” says Steve. “I ain’t exactly sure what this here record got to do with love and peace, but I figured I’d call it that anyways!”

 

Produced and written by Seasick Steve, this album sees him breaking with tradition. While some of it was recorded in his barn, the majority was recorded in Los Angeles at Studio 606 and at East West Studio 3 (where The Beach Boys mixed ‘Pet Sounds’). The album was mixed by Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton) and Steve at East West.

 

Steve’s long-term drummer Dan Magnusson (a.k.a. Crazy Dan) is of course featured on the record, along with some amazing contributions from guitarist Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars) and harmonica player Malcolm Arison (The BossHoss).

 

Steve adds, “This was recorded on 2” analogue tape, mixed to analogue tape and for the vinyl it was cut from the 1/2” master tape direct to lathe. ‘Old skool’, no computer, hear what I’m sayin’? I hope you like it ok. Adios amigos!”

 

Steve would have been on tour at this time, but had had to move all of his touring into 2021 because of the pandemic, and he is definitely missing his audiences.

Steve commented, “I don’t think any of us could have imagined how it would be in the world right now. I hope y’all safe and taking care of yourselves. Strange times.”
