Blood Ulmer has a unique sound, a combination of drone, melody and rhythm at the same time. Saw him live a few years ago, and he just blew me away. Stunningly beautiful music.
i met Blood 4 times---1983 backstage in NYC at The Bottom Line, 1984 backstage in NYC at The Village Gate, 1985 in Hamburg, Germany and 1987 at SOB's in NYC. Great guy--what a show there in Hamburg, Germany, it was on G Calvin Weston's birthday too. I used to have about 10 photos from that concert but lost them years ago. Could somebody who has Black Rock album please post the song "More Blood"??? Please pretty please. Its 1 of my favorites and my album was stolen long ago in NJ.
You're not the only one: the very same thing happened to me last year in Italy - expect that I only had the nerve to hand him my copy of "Black Rock" and a pen for an autograph. :-) I'm sure I still couldn't find any words to thank him.
thıs ıs an afro-savannah-chıtlın cırcuıt-psychedlıc form of blues that Blood ınvented, retunıng that axe ın dıfferent ways and gettıng those half tones and harmelodıc madeness.
