In some ways blues music and punk rock have a lot in common. Both are limited musical styles by definition. Both seem to respect the feeling more than technical skill. Being off-key and out of tune is not necessarily a bad thing in either musical style. Leo Bud Welch definitely performs in that sort of "the mood and vibe" is more important than the technical skill world. This live performance is not for people who want all the instruments to be in tune. It's also not for those who want a lot of variety in the music. What we get here is a genuine old school down and dirty blues performance that is real. Not only do we get the CD of the show, but this includes a DVD that has both the concert and an interview. I have to admit that this isn't really my kind of thing, but I can appreciate what's going on here.
