From The Heat, The Shakers and the mighty Rumble he's seemingly always been there rockin' up a storm oblivious to fads and fashion and all the better for it.

Stagger Lee is Back finds Steve in fine up-beat rockin' form.

With Boz Boorer providing some support but letting the Hookmeister's guitar firmly steer the ship through dirty bottleneck instrumentals, swampy tremolo-soaked r'n'b and even some nodding country blues all with an unmistakably British edge.

Steve's version of 'Red Blue Jeans & A Pony Tail' should come with a boogie-health warning...Sweet Gene Vincent indeed!
