Southward Bound

Opus 3 Records has been fortunate to discover a new great artist: B.B. Driftwood, who has written all songs on his debut album, "Southward Bound" He has filmed in Africa, he has a godfather in Havana, he spent four years recording with drummer Olle Romö and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) in London and Cannes and he has played with and been inspired by local musicians in the Caribbean and South America. In a broad sense his music belongs to the blues genre and is a mix of soul , gospel, blues and country sometimes spiced with Cuban and Brazilian rhythms . With his smoky vocals this becomes a very soulful expression . His lyrics are drawn from his personal treasure chest of experience and deal with subjects like love , longing , loss and joy .With these world class musicians by his side, all you can do (as we did in the studio so many times during the recordings of Southward bound) is sit back , close your eyes and enjoy the colours.
