Samantha Fish is coming back with a new album, and she's brought her cigar box guitar to the recording sessions!
The Kansas City blues diva has just premiered her first single, "Crow Jane" from her latest album Chills & Fever. The track is an old Skip James cover, delivered in a greasy Detroit groove.
Fish recently told Guitar World, “It’s such an old song, and I felt like it could be a really killer, ballsy song. I played the cigar box guitar on it, which my love affair of the cigar box goes up and down. Sometimes I’m really into it and sometimes I’m not. But it adds such a cool, heavy texture. It has a P-bass pickup on a guitar with only four strings, and it just sounds really guttural and kinda nasty. That song is very guitar driven and the horns almost add a New Orleans funeral procession vibe to it. It’s pretty heavy. I picked it because it was a dark, creepy song and I like that kind of stuff. I’m into the macabre.”
Chills & Fever will be released on March 17. Find out more information at SamanthaFish.com

Man that rocks! Hmm,The Birchmere is only 3 hours from me.
Samantha is great. I've met her several times. For all you Blues lovers out there, be sure to check out her sister Amanda Fish also. I've known the girls personally for several years now. I'm BFF with their Mom.
I've got 2 signed T-shirts of the girls.
Samantha,
Your Mom and I are proud of you.
Love ya,
Marie H.
I can't wait to get Samantha's new album. She is just wonderful -- how I wish I could see her in person. Wish she'd come to Louisville, KY ... maybe next year. And she has a sister? I sure will check out what she's doing. The girls must come from a very musical family. I'm old enough to be their grandma -- but so what? Great music is just great music. I know their Mom must be so, so proud --- she certainly has every right to be.
Regards to you all,
B
