DEATH AND THE BLUES

Description

Mark "Porkchop" Holder and his band are back with an album, an homage to the legendary Junior Kimbrough, consisting of 8 original tracks and 3 covers. Following the success of his album Let It Slide, Mark Porkchop returns with an inspired blues worthy of its greatest representatives, as if the Stones went camping with Howlin' Wolf and Billy Gibbons with their only company... a fuzz pedal! We find Mark's frantic guitar technique through his inventive slides and raw riffs, all on a very rock rhythmic base and lyrics engaged against fascism, among other things—in short, an album of guitars, bass, and drums, but also of heart and soul! "The blues is the music of the poor, and the poor spend their lives closer to death than others. The message of the album title is simple: death and the blues are very real. It reminds me not to waste the time I have left," Mark tells us.
