Seasick Steve (real name Steve Wold) shot to cult fame in the UK after a knock-out appearance for the TV show Later with Jools Holland on New Years Eve 2006, toting his trademark 3-stringed guitar, which is all he plays on most of Dog House Music, aside from stomping on his ‘Mississippi drum machine’ (a box on the floor, basically). On ''Save Me'' he gets really basic, twanging on the one-stringed ‘diddley bow’, an ancient African American instrument that partly inspired another great stage name – Bo Diddley’s.

In a few places, two relatives add some proto-percussion to Steve’s no-nonsense picking and sliding, but mostly it’s just the man, his guitar, his stomp and his engaging stories. They have the unmistakable ring of truth about them and sometimes continue when the music stops, as at the end of ''I’m Gone'', where he launches into a rambling tale about a dog, which may or may not be shaggy.
