Description

Daddy Long Legs is a trio of beloved blues bashers that have been huffing and puffing and blowing houses down on a nightly basis in NYC, and always bring an elevated level of rough and ready intensity to contemporary lo-fi blues with their explosive fire ceremony!

Lowdown Ways marks a quantum creative leap for the band, known for their stripped-down roots sound and in-your-face intensity that’s garnered them fans in their hometown and overseas, where they’ve toured with such kindred spirits as The Damned, Hurray for the Riff Raff and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They’ve been recognized by Rolling Stone, who aptly compared them to “Chicago blues fired at the moon, played by the demented children of the Pretty Things.”

The expansive new territory that the band covers on Lowdown Ways is thanks to producer (and JD McPherson bassist) Jimmy Sutton, with whom the band recorded the album at Chicago’s Hi-Style Studios, and who applied his technical know-how to broaden the sound of already instantly memorable tunes. Raucous!
