Sunny Lowdown - Shady Deal (2019)

"Shady Deal" is more swampy, lowdown blues from Sunny Lowdown, whose 2018 release, "Down Loaded", was nominated for a Blues Blast Music Award. "Shady Deal" has some surprises, including a steamy re-work of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction".

Sunny Lowdown's first release was entitled "The Blues, Volume Low", and that remains his approach to the blues. He takes his time, and doesn't hit you over the head. His power is in his tone and phrasing. You might call it a Clint Eastwood approach. No screaming, just a quiet "make my day" that send chills up your spine. From his swampy reworking of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" to his stark "Christmas Eve Blues", to the romantic "Tried And True" and the hilarious whims of "Clip On Man Bun Blues", to the wild textures of "Chicken In A Basket" performed with The Uptown Food Syndicate, Sunny is his own man, giving you his own take on a world we all struggle with day to day. Sometimes it's a celebration. Often it's a shady deal.

“The absolute best of them can make the blues fresh and engaging every time, for anyone. Sunny Lowdown does that…Drive, spirit, spookiness—all the elements are here.” – Elmore Magazine
