Saw Ian at the Running Horse Pub in Nottingham and was immediately hooked! Not only a great vocal range but fantastic harp and slide player. This is his signature album if you ask me. Yes, Revelator is great but give a listen to Magdalena and the mournful Falling On Down Again! By far the best British Blues player in the U.K. along with Aynsley Lister. Must have cd if you truly love the blues.

An earthy testament to the power of the blues. Gnarly vocals (think Omar and The Howlers) delivered with conviction. Stripped down sound, with muscular slide work. Download the whole set, or just "Revelator". It will replay in your head for days afterward.
Revelator

A fantastic album. If nothing else, give the song Revelator a try: a bit of Muddy Waters, a bit of Tom Waits -- it will cut you like a knife.

John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Early Rolling Stones. The British embrace of the blues may have long ago pushed blues music back in front of mainstream audiences. To say we should be embarrassed is off base. We should be proud that this art form is now accepted everywhere. Ian Siegal has more hooks than a Japanese Trawler and I personally do not care where he is from. “Revelator” is a revelation and I have not been so move by a piece of music since John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom”
KILLER Blues

THIS album is why blues is still so strong in Europe! The songs sound like they came right out of the Delta or maybe Austin. We should be ashamed that the real blues movement has now moved over to Europe because this is what a Juke Joint in the Delta should be putting out. Ian has good vocal range and can sing sweet soul or take it down to that old Delta growl. Old standard "Revelator" and "Drowned My Sorrows" (A great hook) --Stand out!
