Synopsis
Album Description 2008 album from the guitar and tenor banjo player, singer/songwriter and raconteur. Inspired in part by his amazing experiences as a survivor of a shipwreck off Africa's West Coast in 1998, it draws on the Blues of the Southern U.S.A., Calypso music of Trinidad, jungle Jazz of the 1920s, and hillbilly music of the 1930s for a musical journey into a heart of darkness. Ranging from full-blown jungle epics to desolate guitar and singing-country-blues, the album tells the Jungle Blues story from all sides. Opening with the title track, 'Jungle Blues' invokes the tale of a poor shipwrecked soul stranded in the jungles of darkest Africa. What follows are hair-raising stories that will haunt your dreams, and voodoo tunes evoking memorable scenes from the world of the jungle. 10 tracks. |
CD ReviewsJungle Blues Leland Madden | Missouri | 07/11/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Buy it, listen to it, you will wear it out. C.W. Stoneking is an undiscovered musical genius."
