While he’s been tearing up juke joints, festivals and dive bars since then with his own fiery brand of the blues, it wasn’t until earlier this year that the Tennessee musician released his own debut solo album, Let It Slide, an acclaimed effort that No Depression described as, ‘…fire in a barrel. If the Rolling Stones camped with Howlin’ Wolf and Billy Gibbons on trucker speed for the weekend with a fuzz pedal, this would be its precious procreation.’ Now just nine months later, the guitar-slinging, harp-shredding bluesman is releasing his follow-up album, Death and the Blues. On it, Holder, along with Travis Kilgore (bass) and Doug Bales (drums), builds on the success of his previous album with eight newly penned tracks, along with three rousing covers. Despite the fact that this was recorded in the same studio as their last album (Tiny Buzz in Chattanooga, TN) and by the same line-up, the results are much heavier and tighter on this affair, with Holder’s inventive slide guitar-work snarling and baring teeth over the rock-solid rhythms from Kilgore and Bales.’ Blues is the music of poor people, and poor people live closer to death than other people do, Holder admits. The message of the title track is simple: death and the blues are real. I have a personal connection with the symbols of death; they remind me not to waste my time.” Artist Mark Porkchop Holder Genre Blues Label Alive Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Captain Captain Sad Days And Lonely Nights Coffin Lid Big Boat Nobody Wants To Cry Be Righteous Bless Me Santasima Billy The Kid James Leg What Is Wrong With Your Mind Death And The Blues Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mark Porkchop Holder and more from Blues View Product Quick View Mark Porkchop Holder Let It Slide Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alive | 1LP Released 24th February 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Porkchop Holder Let It Slide £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0188 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Howlin' Wolf Rockin Chair Blues | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 15th January 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Howlin' Wolf Rockin Chair £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1283 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Butterfield Blues Band Live at Woodstock Blues | Run Out Groove | 2LP Released 14th August 2020 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Butterfield Blues Band Live at Woodstock £45.00 Genre: Blues Label: Run Out Groove SKU: 0081227907938 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marquise Knox Direct-To-Disc Blues | APO Records | 180g, 1LP Released 1st March 2013 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marquise Knox Direct-To-Disc £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: APO Records SKU: AAPO011 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ida Cox with the Coleman Hawkins Quintet Blues For Rampart Street Blues | Mr Suit | 1LP Released 1st May 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ida Cox with the Coleman Hawkins Quintet Blues For Rampart Street £17.00 Genre: Blues Label: Mr Suit SKU: SUITABLE1320 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Butterfield Blues Band East West Blues | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 17th August 2001 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Butterfield Blues Band East West £28.00 Genre: Blues Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5096 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th August 2001 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Keb Mo Keb Mo Blues | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP Released 25th January 2012 £46.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Keb Mo Keb Mo £46.00 Genre: Blues Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL1357 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th January 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Andre Williams Life Blues | Alive | 1LP Released 2nd January 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andre Williams Life £17.00 Genre: Blues Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0135 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Various Artists L.A.
