The Artists

"Jules Boult (Vocals/Piano/Guitar...) - is a former truckie, oil-rigger, boxer, engineer (not a train driver), poet, model, renaissance man, amateur beach bum and he has some stories to tell..."

With a a taste for the arcane, Jules Boult delivers a nice line in blues and hokum. His is the poetry of plain speaking and his collection of original songs fits comfortably into a long tradition. The unforced ease of the material can raise a smile to put one in mind of early blues greats — and that’s no light compliment. A good humour percolates through his music, the playing is tight but loose and, vocally, he doesn’t strain for effect (usually the sticking point with white blues singers). Boult plays piano, various guitars, banjo and ukulele and has assembled a stellar cast of collaborators about him.
