Alvin Youngblood Hart (55) hasn\u2019t exactly been beating the boards of the Norwegian concert scene, but now he is finally ready for the Dark Season Blues. He has been called \u00abThe cosmic American lovechild of Howlin\u2019 Wolf and Link Wray\u00bb, and plays what he calls \u00abhard americana\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Californian Hart is particularly inspired by blues pioneers including Blind Boy Fuller and Brownie McGhee. He released his debut album in 1996, the award winning \u00abBig Mama\u2019s Door\u00bb. Apart from three tracks where he had some help from the master, Taj Mahal, this was an album which featured just Hart \u2013 his voice and acoustic guitar. Speaking of Hart, Mahal said that \u00abThe boy got thunder in his hands!\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Since his debut, he has only released four albums, the last of these in 2005. In 2006 he taught the actor Samuel L. Jackson to play guitar for the filming of \u00abBlack Snake Moan\u00bb, and the year after he starred as a musician in \u00abThe Great Debaters\u00bb, directed by Denzel Washington. When he isn\u2019t playing, he spends time repairing old guitars in his wife\u2019s workshop in Memphis. Over the last few years he has toured with Alvin Youngblood Hart\u2019s Muscle Theory, which is a power-trio with Hart on the electric guitar, along with Fabio Drusin on the base and Silvano \u00abSilver\u00bb Bassi on the drums.<\/p>\n
