Big Daddy Wilson - vocal
The American South casts a powerful spell. The
sons and daughters of those deep states might
stray from their hometowns, make their fortunes
and families overseas. But wherever they roam, the
South is there under their skin - and one day it
will call them home. So it was with Deep In My
Soul: the album that lured Big Daddy Wilson from
his base in Europe back to the US motherland. 'It
was like a homecoming,' he says. 'To take it back
home like this, back to my roots, was very sweet
and special. Released in 2019 on Ruf Records, Deep
In My Soul marks a triumphant US return for the
North Carolina-born bluesman, who made his name on
the European scene with acclaimed albums like
Love Is The Key (2009) Thumb A Ride (2011), I'm
Your Man (2013), Time (2015) and 2017's Neck Bone
Stew. The seeds of this new album were sown in May
2018, when Wilson travelled to Memphis,
Tennessee, for preproduction alongside respected
guitarist Laura Chavez and rock-steady bassist
Dave Smith. And all the pieces fell into place
when the bandleader started work with
Grammy-winning producer Jim Gaines at his Bessie
Blue Studios in Stantonville. Completing the album
at the iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals,
Alabama, Wilson was aware of walking in the
footsteps of the greats. But even in a recording
facility that once hosted titans from Etta James
to Duane Allman, these new songs measured up.
There's the brassy soul of I Know. The heartfelt
ripple of Mississippi Me. Wilson takes us from the
rubberband funk of Tripping On You and the
reggae-flavoured I Got Plenty to the funky
wah-driven Voodoo and the slow-burn atmosphere of
Crazy World. 'Normally, I go with the acoustic
vibe,' he explains. 'But I was shooting for a
soulful, more electric vibe with a band on this
one.' As for Wilson's lyrics, Deep In My Soul
addresses love in all its forms: 'Voodoo is about
a holy man who don't believe in voodoo, but this
woman got some type of hold of him that he can't
break free from. Hold On To Our Love is about a
mixed couple trying to hold on to the love of
their life despite the pressure from this world. I
Know is when you found the love of your life,
everything inside of you tells you that, no doubt
about it. So you see - it's all about love. It's
always about love.' Some things change. Others
stay the same. And with Deep In My Soul, Big Daddy
Wilson's music and career come full-circle in
style. 'I see it as a journey,' he says of his
incredible backstory. 'It's the journey of a man
who found himself deep in this beautiful music
called the blues and finally, after 25 years, made
it back home'.
