Seasick Steve- Levee Camp Blues

A video taken from Steve's performace at the Barbican theater that was shown on British TV last year.

Surprisingly this is not a cover of Son House's great song or any other "Levee Camp Blues" it's his own song from the bonus disk you get with the special Edition of "Started Out With Nothing". It's a great tune with some amazing guitar playing by Steve. The riff itself is eerily similar to Mississippi Fred McDowalls "Goin Down The River". Fred also used versions of this in other songs, it's a cracking slide riff.

@TheMetteko I wish people would stop referring to music as a colour thing. That's got nothing to do with it. Blacks gave birth to the blues, but everyone feels them.

One of those journeyman songs that has picked up contributions and tweaks along the way. No one knows where it started and that is how it should stay.
