Stacey Blood is counting it off this summer with the anticipated release of his second album Millennium Blues. What to expect? The Morrison-ish, Beatlesque, Cash driven artist captures a mélange of rock, blues, and out-of-the-box style that he skillfully melds together for a sound that is very much his own. A fan of 60’s and 70’s rock, Blood awakens the nostalgic mind and sets the path for a timeless adventure with him.
Blood spent his influential years as a top-rated radio personality in the Dallas, San Luis Obispo and Fresno markets. This helped develop his multidimensional style. It’s certain to say that music was always part of Blood’s life. His father, Bobby Blood, was a session player and recorded/performed with renowned artists such as Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, The Doors, Steppenwolf, and David Bowie.
So fast forward into the millennium. Stacey Blood’s debut album Reversed Space was released in 2005 on Astral Records. In 2007, he released his single Sunday School which is peppered in psychedelia. With the final touches currently in progress on Millennium Blues, I was able to catch up with Blood and discuss the upcoming album, life in Nashville, and the fight against brown recluses…yes, it’s a trip of an interview!
Rock N’ Write – How’s your world in Nashville tonight?
Stacey Blood -A little quieter. Had thunderstorms today, sounded like the Battle of Bastogne.
Rock N’ Write – I think I have to Google that battle. It sounds intense.
Stacey Blood – Very intense, so they say.
Rock N’ Write – I’m gonna go on blind faith with that one. Shall we start with what year you were born?
Stacey Blood – Good call, blind faith was really the only way out of that one. I was born in 1976 in Fort Worth, TX. Spirit of ’76 man. That makes me a dragon on the Chinese birth chart, ya know.
Rock N’ Write – I happen to be a fan of the 70′s…and the Chinese calendar. I’m 1974 which makes me a tiger. Couple that with being a Leo…watch out people! So are you musically inspired by the 70′s?
Stacey Blood – A tiger and a leo? Didn’t Napoleon Dynamite call that a “Liger”? Yeah, of course the 70′s was a great time for music. Almost as great as the 60′s but both decades are the pinnacle of 20th and 21st century music….
