Deathwish Blues Album Review – The album of the year. Showcasing Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton’s Musical Brilliance
Well, before I start, I think it’s only fair to warn you that this might be a little biased. My most listened-to album of last year on Spotify was Samantha Fish’s ‘Faster‘ Given the multitude of new albums we receive each year for review, that’s quite an achievement. ‘Faster‘ is an absolute modern-day classic, so when I got the opportunity to review Deathwish Blues, I had to give it a listen. This time, Samantha Fish has brought along the talented country outlaw, Jesse Dayton.
A mark of a great album or song is whether you can, and want to, sing along to it. Rest assured, this album will not disappoint. “Deathwish Blues,” is guaranteed to be in my top ten most played songs of 2023. This album is simply fantastic, and I can confidently say that if you love blues, country, or rock, you will fall in love with it too.
Jesse Dayton’s inclusion adds a fresh dynamic to Samantha Fish’s music. Their collaboration showcases their combined talent and the chemistry they share. With Jesse’s unique style complementing Samantha’s signature sound, the album becomes a delightful blend of genres and influences.
Experience the Electrifying Fusion of Blues, Country, and Rock in Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton’s ‘Deathwish Blues’ – A Musical Journey that Will Leave You Wanting More!
