Seagal's blues

Well I'll be darned...
Turns out good, ol' Steven Seagal is a blues guitarist!
One must only hope his playing is more flamboyant than his acting.

Story:
Turns out that the guy who was Under Siege, On Deadly Ground and in Exit Wounds also leads the band Thunderbox. Steven Seagal is: The Mojo Priest. That's the title of his new album.

"To me, playing blues, it's like breathing," says Seagal, 55. "Movies are a job that keep what's going going.
"I couldn't live without the blues, it's a way of life more than a job."

Who knew?

"I started out early on playing blues because those were the guys I watched and grew up with and learned from. I did branch out and play things like rock but I guess I just learned the blues too well."
