The Curse of K.K. Hammond, a name that echoes through the swampy depths of blues, strikes again. Her latest melody, “She Is My Precious,” is a gritty testament to her unwavering artistry. Remember “Death Roll Blues”? Or that haunting rendition of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box”? Well, she’s back, folks, with that same raw edgeโbut this time, there’s a twist. She’s riffing on the tangled web of digital fan engagement, and it’s as complex as it is compelling.
Hammond’s not just strumming strings; she’s plucking at the threads of unsolicited online advances. It’s audacious, sure. Drawing from the ‘Bawdy’ blues, her track’s a cheeky nod to the genreโwitty, yet it doesn’t shy away from the grittier side of things. It’s a playful jab at a serious issue, and it’s got a beat that’ll stick with you.
And Ian Davidson? That long-time partner in crime? They’ve cooked up something special. It’s a timely anthem, echoing with the authenticity of a lived experience. The slide guitar, Hammond’s trademark, weaves through the rhythm like a serpent, as her lyrics hit home. It’s more than a songโit’s a mirror to our times, reflecting the good, the bad, and the downright bluesy.
