Al Scorch - Circle Round The Signs - [Vinyl]

Al Scorch grew up in Chicago, with its storied history of corrupt power at the top and righteous fighters and big dreamers at the bottom. From the town that gave the world characters like Studs Terkel, Upton Sinclair, and the anarchists in Bughouse Square, Scorch adds his voice to the choir with the enthusiasm and charisma of a Maxwell Street preacher. With a stentorian bullhorn of a voice, he exhorts not with a holy book in his hand, but a banjo and guitar. He's a messenger with a conduit, a believer that a soul-stirring song will march you forward. Balanced on wedges of punk, old-time string band, American and European folk, and soulful balladry, Al is an entertainer, road warrior, storyteller, and one helluva musician. His Bloodshot debut is on a sonic framework sharing an intersection with the Bad Livers' lawless next-gen take on traditional country & bluegrass, and Black Flag's burnit- all-down revolt and breakneck tempos. Like a punk rock banjowielding John Prine or Billy Bragg, Al Scorch writes for the everyperson.
