Stage name Seasick Steve; American blues/Americana musician known for a raw, hobo-inflected style, slide and homemade guitars, and a storytelling persona that features rough vocals and DIY instruments.

DeBaser reviews describe his hobo persona, use of homemade and stripped-down instruments (including three-stringed guitars), and rootsy slide-blues style. Reviews reference a disputed unauthorized biography by Matthew Wright that questions some biographical details, and note the October release of the double album Keepin' The Horse Between Me And The Ground on There's a Dead Skunk Records.

Three DeBaser reviews examine Seasick Steve's raw, hobo-inflected blues and DIY instruments. Critics praise his honesty and atmosphere while some note uneven material. A disputed biography is discussed alongside album reviews.

For:Fans of blues, Americana and raw, rootsy music; listeners who like DIY instruments and storytelling

 An old hobo, who spent his life getting arrested for vagrancy by the police in half of America and Europe, capable of giving punk blues lessons to kids who grew up with Iggy’s photo under their pillow!?

 Hobos are people who move around looking for work, bums are people who move around but aren’t looking for work, while tramps don’t move and don’t work. I think I’ve been all three things.

 Ultimately judging Hubcap Music seems all too simple... it’s a great album.
