Like the rest of the world, yours truly was first introduced to Andrew Chin aka Brushy One String (son of Freddy McKay) thanks to 'Rise Up', Luciano Blotta's 2007 documentary.
'No Man Stop Me' is already the third long player to date by the man with the one-snared guitar we like to refer to as "the Jamaican answer to Seasick Steve" and whose sound can best be described as an acoustic mix of blues and reggae.
Even though Brushy usually performs solo, on 'No Man Stop Me', which, as Brushy indicates in closing track 'Home Away From Home', was recorded in Argentina, he is assisted by a number of other musicians: the Spanish guitar and flute ('Lotto Song') of Ricardo Tapia, the cajon and percussion ('Lotto Song') of Ivan Tapia, the piano and organ ('Good Lord', 'Drummer Man', 'Home Away From Home') of Gaston Picazo, and the drums of Jorge Giorno ('Good Lord', 'Drummer Man', 'Home Away From Home'). Fans of the Inna De Yard series will certainly also certainly appreciate Brushy's music.
Brushy One String will be performing on Belgian soil for the very first time on Friday July 21st at the occasion of the
Irie Vibes festival in Kortemark!
