Living in a burning house


Description


Summary: Whipsmart songwriter, electrifying guitarist and lap steel player, and gruff, commanding vocalist Selwyn Birchwood is one of the blues' brightest young stars. His third album amazes with potent rhythms, startlingly fresh lyrics and jaw-dropping musicianship. Selwyn's first two releases, 2014's "Don't call no ambulance" and 2017's "Pick your poison" have scanned over 16,000 units combined.

"The usually hard touring Birchwood used this pandemic time off the road to create his finest release, one sure to be on many 2021 blues Best Of lists. It's the mark of a true iconoclast, especially in his field, that Living in a Burning House`s 13 songs pay tribute to his influences without sounding like any of them".

"A Florida native who was born in Orlando and is based out of Tampa, he's a former International Blues Challenge and Blues Music Award winner for new artist of the year as well as an Albert King Award honoree as best guitarist at the IBCs. And this CD, should cement him permanently in the upper echelon of the music ... Well-conceived from the jump and delivered with aplomb, Living in a Burning House is Selwyn and company's best effort yet".
