Band Name: Ernie Southern

Prozac Blues

CD 2006

“Curiously Funky Red Hot Delta Blues” Every now and then, an artist emerges and bursts fully mature on the scene. Ernie Southern is one of those few. A pleasant surprise, his style is authentic, evoking both the "soul" and "spirit" of the masters.

The Self released Prozac Blues shows off the strong songwriting of Florida singer-guitarist Ernie Southern, who is equally deft working in the emotional style of “Train Gone Dead” and “Just The Way You Say Goodbye,” turning out such downright hilarious pieces as “Robot Love,” “Ain’t Goin’ Bald Jus’ Getting Mo’ Head,” and the title track, or landing somewhere in between, as on “Too Rowdy Blues” and “Youth Is Wasted On The Young.” The music is pure down-home blues, centered on Southern’s National guitars, with able accompaniment from Dan Fleming (percussion) and Bruce Johnson (harmonica), and it’s most entertaining.
