Thread Name: Searching for name of the artist (Scottish)-found!
Subject: RE: Searching for name of the artist (Scottish)
I'm struggling to get my head round this.
'Creative Recluse' at
nelsonschainsaws.tumblr.com/ says he is... "Also known as JB Nelson, Sleepy Eyes Nelson and Longshot Nelson."
It would be interesting to know what his real name is.
I wonder if anyone in Scotland has seen him performing?
There are vids of him at the State Bar Glasgow & Jazz Bar Edinburgh(see his YT uploads page)
'Sleepy Eyes' Nelson seems to do American bluesey tracks
www.facebook.com/sleepynelson
'Longshot' Nelson does Scottish tracks
'JB' Nelson does Gothic Americana,Dark Country,Alternative, Experimental stuff.
and also lists
The God Channel : Experimental - Noise - Industrial
Sundowner : Synth Pop - Industrial - Dark Soundtrack
He operates a small record label cheapwinerecords.bandcamp.com/
which lists other artists. I wonder how many are him too. I have asked btw.
His YouTube page has an 'About' saying he is base in Scotland www.youtube.com/user/nelsonschainsaws/about
& lots of uploads.
Here are a few for comparison :
Early, as an un-named band, with melodica The Stranger
Longshot Nelson Matt McGinn Cover - The Rolling Hills O' The Borders -
Sleepy Eyes Nelson i couldn't buy beer
JB Nelson gunsmoke trail
Sleepy Eyes Nelson & Slate Dump(who, to me, looks like it might be the guy in 'The Stranger' ?) Down The Line Blues -
