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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Allman Brothers Band Seven Turns Blues | Epic | 1LP Released 8th May 2024 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Allman Brothers Band Seven Turns £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: Epic SKU: nn286401 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th May 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jim Bunkley / George Henry The George Mitchell Collection Blues | Big Legal Mess | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 11th June 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Bunkley / George Henry The George Mitchell Collection £17.00 Genre: Blues Label: Big Legal Mess SKU: BLM0527 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Supersonic Blues Machine West Of Flushing, South Of Frisco Blues | Provogue | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th June 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Supersonic Blues Machine West Of Flushing, South Of Frisco £22.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD747812 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rory Gallagher Deuce Blues | UMC | 3LP Released 30th September 2022 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rory Gallagher Deuce £50.00 Genre: Blues Label: UMC SKU: 4554223 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Finley Age Dont Mean A Thing Blues | Big Legal Mess | 1LP Released 30th September 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Finley Age Dont Mean A Thing £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Big Legal Mess SKU: BLM0533 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tony Joe White Swamp Music: Monument Rarities Blues | Run Out Groove | 180g, 3LP Released 18th October 2019 £52.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Joe White Swamp Music: Monument Rarities £52.00 Genre: Blues Label: Run Out Groove SKU: 0081227910976 Formats: 180g, 3LP Released Date: 18th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Slowhand & Van (Eric Clapton & Van Morrison) The Rebels Blues | Bushbranch Records | 12", Single Released 17th September 2021 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slowhand & Van (Eric Clapton & Van Morrison) The Rebels £12.00 Genre: Blues Label: Bushbranch Records SKU: 354921 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 17th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Bakerloo Bakerloo Blues | Akarma | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th August 2023 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bakerloo Bakerloo £35.00 Genre: Blues Label: Akarma SKU: nn270247 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Nancy Harrow Wild Women Don’t Have The Blues Blues | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 9th May 2008 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nancy Harrow Wild Women Don’t Have The Blues £34.00 Genre: Blues Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PP9008 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th May 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Bibb Global Griot Blues | Dixiefrog | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th January 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Bibb Global Griot £24.00 Genre: Blues Label: Dixiefrog SKU: DFGLP8810 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Blues Start again
