These two could well have written the sound track to O Brother, Where Art Thou?
such is their grasp of Gospel, Appalachian Folk and Blues.

OK Queensland ….  it’s your turn ….
dress to depress with The Blues Preachers.

Renowned traditional pre war blues duo The Blues Preachers specialise in acoustic music from the 1920′s to the 1940′s. In light of the recent economic crisis, their style of depression era blues is relevant both musically and lyrically and a perfect fit for today’s modern world. Many comparisons have been made to today’s economic situation and that of the great depression. The music from that period offers hope and escapism as well as reflecting on hard times ahead. After very successful CD launches in Melbourne and Sydney, The Blues Preacher’s are ready for Queensland.

Featuring Brother John and Captain Bluetongue, The Blues Preachers are a slice of 1929 for 2009. Driving finger-style and slide-guitar combined with harmonica and old-school vocal harmonies create a sound that will have you on the edge of your seats.

2009 release:
‘Dry Long So’
“I love this record.  It’s a slice of 1929 for 2009.  It’s also a record I’ve been awaiting with baited breath since chatting with the Sydney based Blues Preachers last year.  Harmonica player, Captain Bluetongue sent me the rough mixes not long afterwards, and even in their rough state, these songs stood proud and defiant, much like the men in the soup lines you see on the cover of Dry Long So – broken men, but ramrod straight til the end, doing what they have to do to feed their families.  That’s what this record is like”.
