Coffee Table Collections Be Damned: on Sunday Night Blues Club, Vol. 1, Shape-shifting Singer-songwriter Fink Is Making Modern Blues Without the Tacky Veneer.
Contemporary blues is a tag often slapped like market stall brut on music undeserving of the description, but what would a genuinely contemporary blues record sound like? This is the question Fin Greenall – aka singer-songwriter Fink – first found himself asking while creating new project Sunday Night Blues Club. The answer is more what it should not be…
“A lot of contemporary blues is total bollocks, let’s be honest,” Fin tells TG. “The new stuff isn’t cutting it. It feels like money – the guttural side of it is gone – and artists like Eric Clapton, bless him, have got a little bit to answer for on that one; for this slick white, late-70s blues fan stuff. It’s the absolute anthesis of a sweaty dive in the 50s where everyone’s doing drugs and dancing and sweating.”
