Eclectically Challenged

Seasick Steve releases his new single, the aptly titled, It’s A Long Long Way on 15th August, proving yet again why his bluesy vocals have gained him so much support in recent years. His songwriting is so obviously laced with experience that you feel compelled to relate to it and this latest song is no different. He’s one of the few artists you feel can really offer the advice of ‘Don’t give up on your dreams’ because you can feel the sincerity coursing through every single lyric he sings, made that much stronger for those who recognise exactly how far he has come in the past decade. That’s exactly what you understand from It’s A Long Long Way and why, in spite of the extremely laid back nature of his music, his status as a mainstay for Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage for quite a while to come yet.
