The Blue Sickness Is Bocephus King's third album and his second for Texas based New West Records.
Whilst moving towards a darker, seedier landscape, It confirms him as a songwriter and storyteller of the highest class as his ability to create memorable characters and tell their tale grows ever more accomplished.
Difficult to define, his music draws elements from country, rock, folk and vaudeville and creates a sound that is undeniably his own.
He Is ably backed by his four piece band, The Rigalattos, who give life to this intoxicating melange.
