I see it as a journey, he said of his incredible backstory. It's the journey of a man who found himself deep in this beautiful music called the blues and finally, after 25 years, made it back home� But the road did not end there, and Wilson's new album is taking things even a few steps further:Hard Time Blues � Is a reflection of the time we are living in right now and all the anxieties that life brings�.Corona, Poverty, Injustice and other hardships. It also embraces the different styles of Big Daddy Wilson, Blues, Soul, R & B, Country and Gospel . Like Willie Dixon says: Blues is the Root, everything else is the fruit. My intent with this album was to show a more modern side of Big Daddy Wilson. To reach out a bit more, to use the Soul and R & B that has influenced me throughout the years. But I still wanted to be true to the blues and my spiritual roots.The song HARD TIME BLUES came to me by way of Eric Bibb and Glen Scott. A beautiful blues song, spiced with the spirit of Soul and R & B and blessed with the Mojo of Glen Scott. This song is also blessed with the Troubadour spirit: the story telling of the great Eric Bibb.This album is full of LOVE, FAITH and HOPE, this is my TESTIMONY. So I thought it be fitting to call the album HARD TIME BLUES. I just want to reach out to as many people as I can, with this message: put a little Love in your heart.� we need each other. - Big Daddy Wilson
