There are countless ways to swear politely in the south. I grew up saying ‘doggone it‘, before life taught me the blues part later”
LEDFOOT
Ledfoot (aka Tim Scott McConnell) has released a new single today (6th November) entitled ‘Doggone Blues’. Reeking of gasoline, bourbon and old-school Delta blues, the song was recorded live in the studio and captures the raw energy and intensity that defined early blues pioneers such as Son House and Mississippi John Hurt.
With gritty slide guitar, dark authority and a sound that cuts straight through the crossroads of blues, Americana, rock and folk, ‘Doggone Blues’ demonstrates why the Florida, US born but Norway-based musician remains one of the most distinctive voices on the scene and is often referred to as the King of Gothic Blues.
“There are countless ways to swear politely in the south,” explains Ledfoot. “I grew up saying ‘doggone it‘, before life taught me the blues part later.”
‘Doggone Blues’ is the first single from a new album, ‘This Ragged Road’, scheduled for release in early February 2027. It will be the ninth Ledfoot record since McConnell began performing under the name in 2007.
