Review Text
'Big Joe Bone' (A.K.A. Danny Wilson) plays what he calls 'Blues-Grass' music.....a mix of Delta Blues, Bluegrass, Oldtime, Gospel and Hillbilly music utilizing his raspy vocals, hard driving harmonica rhythms, sublime bottleneck slide guitar playing (on steel bodied resonator guitars) and lightning finger-picking skills on 5 string banjos.....all held together by a very heavy stomping boot. Originally from London and now living on the Mid-Wales coast, Big Joe started playing guitar as a schoolboy and has now been travelling all around the UK playing his fast, furious Roots music to eager audiences since 2012. As well as playing songs from great Roots musicians like Son House, Dock Boggs, Bukka White, Flatt and Scruggs, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Charlie Parr, Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James, Robert Johnson .....the list goes on and on!, Big Joe also plays his own songs that fit right in to his eclectic set, which shows that when it comes to Roots music, he really 'gets it'......and it's 10 of those originals that make up the first Big Joe Bone album, 'Blues Grass Kicks Ass'. Danny has a lifetime of music behind him and has thrown himself into what has become a very busy schedule of gigs since he hit the road in 2012. 'Big Joe Bone' is an act not to be missed!
