"SOUNDS OF
HOME" DEBUTS ON BILLBOARD CHART!
New Damon Fowler Release Critically
Acclaimed
|
"Sounds of Home" the new
Blind Pig release from roots guitar guru Damon Fowler, debuted
this week at #12 on the Billboard blues
chart! |
Damon chose swamp blues master Tab Benoit
to produce the album at Tab's rural Louisiana home studio, and their
collaboration has resulted in Damon's strongest effort to date. Damon has spent
much of the last year touring with the critically-acclaimed group Southern
Hospitality, whose
Easy Livin' Blind Pig release was also produced by
Tab.
Americana publication
No Depression said of
Sounds of Home,
"A blend of sacred steel, backwater blues and howling, greasy swamp rock,
Fowler's music is a primal, atavistic sound that makes the hair on the back of
your neck stand up. Fowler is that rare artist whose studio recordings pack as
much of a wallop as his live shows. This one will pin your ears back and track
swamp fonk all over the place."
USA Today said, "Fowler nails the region's bluesy, easy-rocking,
gospel-tinged sound. The covers are well-chosen, but Fowler's orginals and
nimble guitar work are the reasons to visit."
Last week
Damon and his band played a live set to a standing ovation on the national radio
"Mountain Stage" program that will be broadcast at the end of April. This week
he'll be stopping by the New York City offices of Relix magazine for an video
interview and feature.
The group is just beginning a national tour in
