Our Take

Lowell Fulson may not be a household name for some, but his influence on the blues scene is undeniable. The Tramp Years, a compilation album showcasing some of his lesser-known tracks, sheds light on the raw talent and soulful sound that defined Fulson's career.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, listeners are transported to a smoky bar on a hot summer night, where Fulson's gravelly voice cuts through the air like a knife. Tracks like "Tramp" and "Reconsider Baby" showcase his masterful guitar work and storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and life on the road.

But it's not all doom and gloom on The Tramp Years. Fulson's playful sense of humour shines through on tracks like "I Want to Spend Christmas with Elvis" and "Hung Down Head," proving that even in the darkest of times, there's always room for a good laugh.

Overall, The Tramp Years is a must-listen for any blues aficionado looking to delve deeper into the genre's rich history. With its timeless sound and Fulson's magnetic presence, this album is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of music. So grab a drink, sit back, and let Lowell Fulson take you on a journey through the tramp years - you won't regret it.
