Steve Lucas and the Rising Tide - This Mother's Son (2022) [Official Digital Download]

A few years ago I decided I’d had enough life experience to be eligible to start playing the blues. I put together a band called The Heinous Hounds, almost by accident. I needed an opener for a charity gig I’d put together and thought running like the Elvis Comeback Special might be a good idea. We’d call out a song and a key and just start playing. That lineup had Ash Davies on drums, Jerome Smith on bass and vocals, the late and great Chris Wilson, blues harp and vocals, Matt Dwyer, guitar and vocals, and myself, guitar and vocals. Each of us would take turns fronting the band and I got a crash course in playing the blues.

The band started gigging regularly doing residencies around Melbourne like The Ding Dong Lounge, Cherry Bar, and The Espy (Esplanade Hotel). The band roster began to expand over the year with various guest artists filling in when other players needed to be elsewhere. That is how I got to meet new players and consolidate old friendships that brought me to this particular lineup on the sessions that make up this collection of tunes.
