Seasick Steve used a large bowl of simmering ingredients to prepare his ninth album, Can U Cook?

The team in the kitchen is Dan Mangnusson on drums and Luther Dickinson (son of the great Jim Dickinson) on the guitar playing alongside the sixty-something year old troubadour on these extravagant tracks. A thirteen-course album produced and composed by Steve, it would be a perfect fit for an American diner in the middle of nowhere. Each portion has its own unique flavour, jumping between electric blues, rock’n’roll riffs and muddy country. Can U Cook? is a mix of modern styles, the album of a gritty bluesman. From the very first bite, the groove takes a hold of the listener’s body and triggers an unstoppable addiction. The album’s title track is undoubtedly the centrepiece, a catchy blues-rock track that makes you want to dance on tables and eat with your fingers. There’s plenty to get your teeth into with this album.
