Catfish Keith - Rolling Sea (2003)

Catfish Keith’s ninth solo album is brimming with 13 deep bottleneck blues, gospel and original songs on his Baritone National and “little bitty” (big-sounding) acoustic guitar.

Blues singer, songwriter and bottleneck slide guitarist Catfish Keith has established himself as one of the most exciting country blues performers of our time. Catfish's innovative style of foot-stomping, deep delta blues and American roots music has spellbound audiences the world over. The two-time W.C. Handy Award nominee for BEST ACOUSTIC BLUES ALBUM has seven NUMBER ONE chart-topping albums to his credit, and packs houses from coast-to-coast with his dynamic stage show.

The 25-year veteran has toured the UK & Europe twenty-nine times to wide acclaim, headlining major music festivals and appearing with legends John Lee Hooker, Robert Cray, Koko Taylor, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke, Ray Charles and many others.

Embraced overseas as a true blues star, The Guardian (UK), called Catfish Keith "...a solo revelation, breaking new ground for blues." The British Blues Connection nominated Catfish for BEST OVERSEAS ARTIST, calling him "The New Slide King of the National Steel Guitar." Catfish is in the Blues Who's Who, and continues to tour internationally. Catfish's dedication to revitalizing an almost lost art form testifies to his love of the music while continuing to make discoveries on his lifelong blues quest.
