Daddy Long Legs

Daddy Long Legs

From the esteemed Norton Records label to Yep Roc comes one of the wildest and most exciting groups of the current roots and blues revolution. The Brooklyn band's frontman, also named Daddy Long Legs, is a blues hollerer who blurs any definition by age or colour. He growls, barks, yelps, and wails without sounding like an imitation of anyone or anything. His partners in crime are cut from the same sweat-and-whiskey-soaked cloth. Guitarist Murat Akturk cranks out everything from powerhouse country blues rhythms to slinky-assed multi-stringed slide riffs that bump and grind up against Daddy Long Legs’ harp. Drummer/percussionist Josh Styles keeps it simple and right on, sometimes locking in with his bandmates for a triple-punch deep-as-Hell-itself groove; other times head-down and leading the charge himself, slamming shovelfuls of coal into the beast.
