Octogenarian blues man Leo Bud Welch releases second album
82 YEAR old blues man Leo Bud Welch has released his second album
through Fat Possum Records. 'I Don't Prefer No Blues' follows up his
critically acclaimed set 'Sabougla Voices' of 2014. 'I Don't Prefer No
Blues' is what the preacher at Welch's church said when he found out
Welch was making a blues album. Said Welch about his recent success at
international blues events, "I'm doing things I never thought I'd do.
I never thought I'd get to play outside of Mississippi or travel to
other countries. Now I'm playing for all kinds of people and seeing
the world. Just so, the first time I had to go on a plane I thought
they'd have to blindfold me, knock me out and tie me up to get me on
board. I'm also keeping all my bills paid up to date, which I couldn't
before."
