Seasick Steve on his new album, 'Can U Cook?'
He chats about the 9th studio release with Shaun Keaveny and performs live.
Shaun Keaveny hears about the 9th studio release, which sees Steve mixing up all of his much loved ingredients to deliver a fresh new record thatβs full of sunshine as well as being a good ol' Seasick mix of boogie, blues, rock, Americana and folk music. The title track sees Steve serve up wise relationship advice with dirty guitars, big drums and a growling vocal in an infectious and electrifying Seasick Steve groove.
Produced and written by Steve, Can U Cook? was mostly recorded in a converted ice house on the dock in Key West, Florida with his longtime drummer Dan Magnusson a.k.a. Crazy Dan (βthe guyβs dangerous but he's a nice fella, heβs just a little bit loopyβ) and guitarist Luther Dickinson of The North Mississippi Allstars, and ex of The Black Crowes (ββ¦the greatest living slide guitar player β¦ heβs crazy too, he fits right inβ). Dickinson is now part of the touring band for the forthcoming tour dates. When asked βwhy Florida?β Steve explains, βRight at the harbor is where the actual studio was. Thereβs the boats, and thereβs a place called Conch Republic, which is a restaurant. We could throw a rock from the studio into that place. And the studioβs an old icehouse - the boats would come in to collect ice to keep the keep shrimp cold. And then Jimmy Buffett, in the 80βs, made it into a studio, and itβs right there on the harborβ.
