Hillstomp: Poor Black Mattie: Deep Blues Festival II

Portland Oregon junkbox blues duo HILLSTOMP is infamous for digging through the dumps and forgotten backwoods of American music, recycling traditional elements into a refreshing and distinctive brand of do-it-yourself hill country blues stomp. North Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia, and a dash of punkabilly come clanging and tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ lids, all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar. Somehow it works.

liked the playing - nice groove, but got lost (not in a good way) with the vocals

I can tell the singer is using a Shure 520DX microphone. If you read this then I would change out that cheapy Dynamic element Shure puts in there and have an old Shure Controlled Magnetic for an absolute perfect direct replacement. You'll have a nastier sound, more crispness and better tone for overdriven vocals. Overall it's a much better element. I'm a harp player/custom mic builder so trust me on this.  I didn't tell Jack White this because I like real blues better.
