About the Album
“I’m down loaded, people I’m a hard driving man” Sunny Lowdown sings on the title track of his new CD Down Loaded. “I’m a steady streamer baby, doing the best I can”. Love hasn’t been going well lately for Sunny: “I’ve got a woman, my stream don’t do her no good. She’s been working a new playlist, out in another neighborhood.”
Backing himself up with fine, muscular picking, Sunny continues the tradition he began with his critically acclaimed first CD, “The Blues Volume Low”, which was selected as “Blues CD Of The Year” by Spokane Public Radio. Down Loaded contains 7 tracks penned by Sunny, and five tracks penned by some of his favorite blues singers, including Li’l Son Jackson, J.B. Lenoir, and Lightnin’ Hopkins. Sunny’s tunes range from “Texting Blues”, about a couple who can’t sustain a conversation, to the aching longing of “A Girl I Once Knew”, to the toe tapping swing of the instrumental “That’s Enough”. It is soulful, heartfelt blues that one doesn’t hear too often these days, the kind of blues that takes its time and only says what needs to be said -- not a word or note more.
