One of Steve’s most successful albums, You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks. Fifth studio album by the hugely popular Steven Gene Wold aka Seasick Steve featuring legendary Led Zeppelin multi-instrumentalist, John Paul Jones. There is a profound wisdom to old proverbs that belies the simple practical truth behind them. You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks is one such timeless pearl, especially as it pertains to The Dog Hisself — better known to his fans as Seasick Steve — and a mini-crisis he underwent last year when asked to play Glastonbury’s 40th anniversary fest. Indirectly inspiring the title of his new album You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks, Steve believes that “even if I wanted to make something fancy, it wouldn’t work”. But perhaps that depends on how you define “fancy”, for in fact You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks showcases Seasick Steve and his eccentric drum virtuoso sidekick Dan Magnusson flaunting some pretty fancy footwork as they agilely and adroitly step from genre to genre. In addition to Steve’s signature array of classic blues styles (of which he is acknowledged master), many new and previously unheard sides of Steve’s songwriting breadth are herein on display: songs that invoke musical territory that ranges from the Appalachian mountains to down home Kentucky bluegrass, from Nashville country gospel to Greenwich Village coffee house folk balladry. In the course of recording with Dan, Steve found himself hankering for a little something extra low end on some of the tracks: “I was sitting there, daydreaming, thinking to myself, ‘It’d be fun to have bass on a couple of these songs. And I thought, ‘If I was to get me a bass player, who’s like the best rock bass player around? Hey, I like that Led Zeppelin guy, he can play the hell out of a bass.’” Well, he agreed to play and Jones’ vigorous and supple bass work can be heard on the title track, “You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks” and “Back in the Doghouse”; he also played mandolin on “It’s a Long, Long Way”. “That ‘Long, Long Way’ song, we started playing it at the end of the festivals last year,” recalls Steve. “The thing that was a miracle was that all them kids started singing that song within one half of a chorus. It was amazing! I didn’t think anyone was going to join in. So now we’ve played it quite a bit around and I just played it out in California. Everyone sings! And people goes, ‘Yeah, that’s a really cool song. Whose song is that? I remember that song.’ I go, ‘Oh no you don’t!’” The sing-a-long atmosphere carried over into the overdub sessions in London. Steve corralled everybody that works at AIR Studios in for a good old group caterwauling: “All the secretaries, anyone in the kitchen, the whole gang — they wanted to be called the Lyndhurst Rabble Choir.” Artist Seasick Steve Genre Blues Label There's A Dead Skunk Records Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Treasures You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks Burnin’ Up Don’t Know Why She Loves Me But She Do Have Mercy On The Lonely Whiskey Ballad Back In The Doghouse Underneath A Blue And Cloudless Sky What A Way To Go Part Days Gone It’s A Long, Long Way Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Seasick Steve View Product Quick View Seasick Steve Blues In Mono Blues | There's A Dead Skunk Records | 1LP Released 20th October 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seasick Steve Blues In Mono £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: There's A Dead Skunk Records SKU: DSR0041LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seasick Steve Sonic Soul Surfer Blues | There's A Dead Skunk Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th October 2023 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Seasick Steve Sonic Soul Surfer £26.00 Genre: Blues Label: There's A Dead Skunk Records SKU: DSRLP0036X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Seasick Steve Only On Vinyl Blues | There's A Dead Skunk Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th October 2023 £21.00 Select options Seasick Steve Only On Vinyl £21.00 Genre: Blues Label: There's A Dead Skunk Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Seasick Steve Love And Peace Blues | Contagious | 1LP Released 24th July 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seasick Steve Love And Peace £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Contagious Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seasick Steve Can U Cook?
