I Dont Prefer No Blues Leo Bud Welch SKU: BLM0511 Barcode: 854255005118 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Blues Label: Big Legal Mess Released Date: 23rd March 2015 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info At age 82, bluesman Leo ‘Bud’ Welch rocks on stage like a teenager – dancing and spinning as he beats out jagged chords and grimy solos on his pink, sparkle-covered guitar. That raw youthful energy and Welch’s old-school juke-joint jones blend full-throttle in the 10 songs on ‘I Don’t Prefer No Blues’, his second release for Fat Possum Records’ subsidiary Big Legal Mess. The album is a garage-blues manifesto that weds waves of prickly six-string distortion and gutbucket drums with Welch’s smoke-andash voice and mud-crusted guitar – and lives up to Fat Possum’s history of producing edgy but deeply rooted recordings by artists like Junior Kimbrough and RL Burnside. ‘I Don’t Prefer No Blues’ is the follow-up to last year’s ‘Sabougla Voices’, an all-gospel disc that marked Welch’s debut as both a recording artist and a songwriter. That album was heralded as a fresh breath of rust-bearing air, a throwback to an era of rural music free of from outside influences and a reminder that blues-fuelled primitivism is still personified by a handful of living Southern artists. Playing blues on stage since ‘Sabougla Voices’ release has proven transformative for the octogenarian resident of Bruce, Mississippi. He’s toured parts of the US and Europe and played for audiences of all ages at international festivals and such prestigious events as the Americana Music Association Festival and Conference in Nashville. Big Legal Mess label owner and house producer Bruce Watson took the wheel on ‘I Don’t Prefer No Blues’, steering Welch into genreblending sonic and creative territory. “The deal I made with Leo was the first record would be gospel and the second would be blues,” Watson says. “Honestly, I was just trying to do something different than your typical blues record – trying to f*ck things up a bit. I think I succeeded.” “Right now is a great point in my life,” says Welch. “I’m doing things I’ve never been able to do before and I feel good doing them at an age when a lot of people are dead. So as long as I can I want to go around the world trying to send satisfaction to people. Doing that is a great feeling to me.” Artist Leo Bud Welch Genre Blues , Psychedelia / Garage Label Big Legal Mess Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Poor Boy Girl In The Holler I Don’t Know Her Name Goin’ Down Slow Cadillac Baby Too Much Wine I Woke Up So Many Turnrows Pray On Sweet Black Angel Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Leo Bud Welch and more from Blues View Product Quick View Leo Bud Welch The Angels in Heaven Done Signed My Name Blues | Easy Eye Sound | 1LP Released 8th March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leo Bud Welch The Angels in Heaven Done Signed My Name £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Easy Eye Sound SKU: 0855380008500 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers Crusade Blues | Proper Records | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd June 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers Crusade £25.00 Genre: Blues Label: Proper Records SKU: UMCLP037 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lightnin' Hopkins Live At The Bird Lounge Blues | Cleopatra Records | 1LP Released 24th February 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lightnin' Hopkins Live At The Bird Lounge £15.00 Genre: Blues Label: Cleopatra Records SKU: CLPLP1555 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leadbelly Black Betty Blues | Not Now Music | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 10th October 2011 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leadbelly Black Betty £22.00 Genre: Blues Label: Not Now Music SKU: NOT2LP133 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 10th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band So Delicious Americana / Country | Shanachie Records | 1LP Released 10th March 2015 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band So Delicious £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Shanachie Records SKU: ASHA30315 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Muddy Waters Folk Singer – UltraDisc One-Step Blues | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released 27th May 2022 £175.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Muddy Waters Folk Singer – UltraDisc One-Step £175.00 Genre: Blues Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UD1S2-023 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: 27th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Bonamassa Tour De Force – Hammersmith Apollo Blues | Provogue | 180g, 3LP Released 5th June 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Bonamassa Tour De Force – Hammersmith Apollo £22.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD74251 Formats: 180g, 3LP Released Date: 5th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Our New Orleans (Expanded Edition) Blues | Nonesuch | 2LP Released 29th January 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Our New Orleans (Expanded Edition) £23.00 Genre: Blues Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597918458 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Green Splinter Group With Nigel Watson – Hot Foot Powder Blues | Madfish | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th July 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Green Splinter Group With Nigel Watson – Hot Foot Powder £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: Madfish SKU: SMALP1130 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jo Harman People We Become Blues | Total Creative Freedom | 1LP Released 3rd February 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jo Harman People We Become £17.00 Genre: Blues Label: Total Creative Freedom SKU: CHIEF10V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Savoy Brown Ain’t Done Yet Blues | Quatro Valey Records | 1LP Released 1st February 2024 £16.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Savoy Brown Ain’t Done Yet £16.00 Genre: Blues Label: Quatro Valey Records SKU: nn280082 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Blues Start again
