As many of you know, I am presently going through a project where I am listening to 1000 albums in a year. I'm past the 300 mark at this point, and I have discovered a LOT of music I would have never otherwise heard.
One such band is The Wanton Bishops. And, before you read any further, listen to this song.
Great Delta Blues sound, right?
The Wanton Bishops is a band, but really, it's one guy - Nader Mansour - from Lebanon.
The country. Not Lebanon, Mississippi. Which, to be fair, is a place that exists. But no. He's from Beirut. Mansour, however, DID travel to Mississippi to learn more about the sound - and he executes it perfectly.

This song is from his/their debut album of the same name, released in 2015. However, in 2025, he's still performing this song. And it sounds fantastic. I really hope they tour the US soon, because I *need* to see this live myself.
