Bought For A Dollar, Sold For A Dime

Little Axe

Little Axe is what you get when you take the Blues and subject them to the 21st century. The deep Blues, channelled through time, dubbed, tweaked, sampled, processed - courtesy of the legendary guitar genius, bluesman and Sugarhill Gang/Tackhead mainstay Skip 'Little Axe' McDonald.

The musical melting pot of 'Bought For A Dollar, Sold for a Dime' is large, and bubbling. Here are addictive rhythms. Soulful vocals. Pinches of dub and funk, reggae and gospel. Oh-so-subtle samples and innovative electronics. And underpinning it all, McDonald's shimmering blues guitar licks, conjuring a space where the dirt roads of the Deep South meet the shiny lanes of the Information Superhighway.
"A wonderful work of subtly haunting and hypnotic blues" - TIME OUT
