SEASICK STEVE’S MAN FROM ANOTHER TIME OUT NOW
#4 ON U.K. TOP 40
CHARTS
 Seasick Steve |
Seasick Steve‘s eagerly
awaited album, Man From Another Time, arrived in the U.S. on March 30, 2010 on Ryko. The album peaked at #4 on the U.K. top 40 charts and is the follow up to his platinum-selling U.K. album, I Started
Out With Nothin’ And I Still Got Most Of It Left. Man From Another Time recently made its
U.S. radio debut as the #2 most added album at FMQB’s Triple A/Non-Comm panel.
Produced, written, recorded and engineered by Seasick Steve (with the assistance of engineer Roy
Williams), Man From Another Time is a resolutely organic album that eschews modern
studio trickery in favor of the warm style of ‘live’ analogue recording. Seasick Steve performed everything on the
album, aside from drums, which are credited to his longstanding Swedish sticksman Dan Magnusson.
Seasick Steve was catapulted into the U.K.’s public consciousness in 2006 following an electrifying TV performance on
Jools Holland‘s Hootenanny. Since then, he’s sold out major shows including a prestigious Royal
Albert Hall
date in London, charmed every festival from Glastonbury (U.K.) to All Points West (U.S.), collaborated
with Nick Cave, became the
oldest two-time Brit Award nominee in history and winner of Mojo’s Best Breakthrough Act.
The highly anticipated Man From Another Time was released in the U.S. on March 30, 2010. He will be on the road playing select dates in 2010 including V Festival and Electric Picnic overseas.
Track Listing:
“Diddley Bo”

Or, to put it in microblogging terms, #swineflu.
The wonderful thing about the ease of communication online is that anyone can start a discussion, carry it on, pass along information, retweet it, forward an e-mail, [...]

The discussion about journalism’s future so often focuses on Big Changes — Kill the print edition! Flips for everyone! Reinvent business models NOW! — that it’s easy to forget how simple innovation can be.
Sometimes all you need is a few Tweets, a bunch of links, and some like-minded pioneers.
That’s how a quiet revolution began in [...]
