Ledfoot – White Crow

Ledfoot – White Crow
TBC – 2020
Rock, Blues
Rated: *****

We knew about this cat before that album. But thanks to the Damned album from 2010, which featured Madrugada’s Sivert Hoyem on the track Wicked State Of Mind, we really got to know Tim Scott McConnell. His stagename, Ledfoot. His craft, blues. On his newest release White Crow the man hypnotizes and mesmerizes with his twelve string plunking. His dark bariton is smokey and weathered. Wasted and worn memories of Wovenhand, Mark Lanegan, Blind Lemon Jefferson and John Fahey pass through your mind like shifting sands, cause the entire album seems to transcend everything and all. And that’s because his roots music continues to fascinate and enthrall, even if the fundamental keynote never changes. In fact, his open approach whips around the same chords, which just seems to add to heartbreaking beauty that is White Crow. One foot on the stompbox, one foot in the grave, Ledfoot brings you his own version of Gothic Blues, and it is the only blues that will save…
