“White Trash Blues” gives a new spin on 12 blues tracks, some of which would be known to everyone with even a passing interest in the genre and some which only the true aficionados would be aware of.
The Quireboys are most definitely in the latter camp. Which is why it makes almost perfect sense to name it after one of their own songs. As far back as 1990 the band were mixing bluesy elements into their sound in a way that the then teenage MTV simply wasn’t aware of before.
All of which reinforces the point here that these are not carbon copies, but nor do they achingly try to be 'modern'. Rather they are loving versions of brilliant songs by a band who has captured completely the fun of what they were trying to do.
“White Trash Blues” then, the rare exception that proves the rule.
