Seasick Steve - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks


Steven Gene Wold, commonly known as Seasick Steve, (born 1941) is an American blues musician. He plays (mostly personalized) guitars, and sings, usually about his early life doing casual work.

He has to this date released 5 albums and the latest was released on 27 May 2011.

In February 2011, Seasick Steve signed to Play It Again Sam to release his new album with the exception of the US, where it will be released on Third Man Records. Subsequently his new album You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks was released on his new labels and it was announced that ex Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones had played on the new album, and appeared to promote the new album and thus performing with the duo. This has caused some to believe that he will tour with Steve as a part of his backing band, joining his current drummer Dan - something Seasick Steve confirmed had (and may) happen at a few performances. Jon Paul Jones did indeed appear onstage to play with Steve at the Isle of Wight 2011 festival.
