Leo Welch releases first album at age 82
AN 82 YEAR old blues gospel singer from north Mississippi, Leo Welch has released his debut album. 'Sabougla Voices' is released on Big Legal Mess Records. Read a review in the Red Lick catalogue, "The all-religious songs are framed in a range of settings - from electric juke joint boogie, solo acoustic bottleneck guitar, small call-and-response vocal support - but whatever the musical context, Leo's rough and ragged vocals shine out throughout."
