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 Rory Gallagher Tattoo Blues | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 14th March 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rory Gallagher Tattoo £21.00 Genre: Blues Label: UMC SKU: 5797730 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Campbell Howlin’ Mercy Blues | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd July 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Campbell Howlin’ Mercy £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1710 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blind Owl Wilson Blind Owl Wilson Blues | Mississippi Records | 1LP Released 8th September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blind Owl Wilson Blind Owl Wilson £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Mississippi Records SKU: MRP082LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blind Willie McTell Kill It, Kid The Essential Collection Blues | Cleopatra Records | 180g, 1LP Released 27th July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blind Willie McTell Kill It, Kid The Essential Collection £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Cleopatra Records SKU: CLPLP272 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Bonamassa You and Me Blues | Provogue | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd April 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Bonamassa You and Me £21.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD718512 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Philip Sayce Influence Blues | Provogue | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st August 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Philip Sayce Influence £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD74351 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 21st August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Taj Mahal & Toumani Diabate Kulanjan (2023 Remaster) Blues | Chrysalis | 1LP Released 14th July 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Taj Mahal & Toumani Diabate Kulanjan (2023 Remaster) £26.00 Genre: Blues Label: Chrysalis SKU: CRVX1556 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Muddy Waters Folk Singer Blues | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 8th October 2015 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Muddy Waters Folk Singer £45.00 Genre: Blues Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPB1483 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 8th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Groundhogs Blues Obituary Blues | Akarma | 1LP Released 9th May 2024 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Groundhogs Blues Obituary £25.00 Genre: Blues Label: Akarma SKU: nn286447 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th May 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Hammond Rough and Tough Blues | Chesky | 180g, 1LP Released 11th November 2010 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Hammond Rough and Tough £23.00 Genre: Blues Label: Chesky SKU: ACRC 2346 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th November 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Blues Start again
