Post Description
There are those that simply play the blues and some people that have lived them, and there are those like SOLOMON KING who have done both. Hailing from Detroit, King’s days as an auto worker read like something out of a Charles Bukowski novel complete with booze and broads. When the massive layoffs came, King headed West with an acoustic guitar in hand and began a career in the very music that celebrates hard living, drinking and woman that know how to take your mind off things, only to land you in more trouble.
Fast-forward to 2008. Solomon King starts hanging out at Babe and Ricky’s the now defunct, seminal South Central Los Angeles Blues Club. If there is such a thing as a hipster destination for blues, this is it. And King belongs.
Fast-forward this time to 2013: King releases “Train,” a tasty collection of blues-rock tunes that walk the line between love and lust, while celebrating getting on with one’s life. With his live touring band firing fierce salvos of modern New-School Blues across the musical tracks the question of “put up or shut up?” is definitively answered. Rockwired Magazine tabs Solomon King as one of its “25 Guitarists You’ve Gotta Hear.” Good.
