Black Diamond Heavies

Hometown: Nashville, TN US

The Black Diamond Heavies hail from the Southern States of America, but currently live as "vagrants/citizens of the world." Their music is urgent, raw, and full of ass-shaking soul. The live show has been described as both "Pentecostal"and"Demon-Possessed".
Most of the material is original, although covers are sometimes thrown in as tribute to gods, generals, heroes, and vampires such as John Lee Hooker, T-Model Ford, Muddy Waters, Lou Reed and Tom Waits.
The Heavies continuously gain momentum on their quest to unleash the punk-ass blues on the world. The Heavies tour internationally and constantly and have shared the stage with many notable acts including Son Volt, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Immortal Lee County Killers, Thee Shams, Jimbo Mathus, Kenny Brown, and Scott H Biram.
The band consists of : John Wesley Myers : bass keys, fender rhodes, organ, knife and vocal . Left hand of rhythm, right hand of soul. The son of a Baptist preacher, John Wesley is from Port Arthur, Texas and has been shaking his. .... "testimony" all over the south for 25 years, playing gospel as a child till the devil got hold of him. John Wesley also fools around with fellow blues-evangelists, the Immortal Lee County Killers.
Van Campbell : Drums and vocal . Van is from Louisville , Kentucky and comes from a family of bourbon distillers. He holds a degree in Mandarin Chinese from a small girl's college in New York and has drummed professionally on three continents . Upon deportation from England, Van returned to the states after a three year stint with The Invisibles, and the art punk explosion now known as The Rum Circus.

New Album out! “A Touch of Someone Else’s Class” (Alive Records) produced Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys at his Akron Analog studio. Click Here

For the first time, the Black Diamond Heavies new album will feature special guests including long-time Tom Waits collaborator Ralph Carney (who recently guested on The Black Keys new album) on horns for the slow burn of “Bidin’ My Time,” Mr. Jimmy (The Falconer) contributing bass on several tracks and Dan Auerbach on guitar for the closer “Happy Hour.” The 11-track set also features several cover songs including furious takes on Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limit,” Nina Simone’s “Oh Sinnerman” and “Take A Ride” by James Model T Ford.


Wilson Tan

Hometown: Glasgow, UK

One stormy night towards the end of his life, Hank Williams snr, found himself stranded in Baton Rouge. Informed that there would be no transport out for at least two days, Mr Williams snr, instead of stagnating in his hotel, headed off to the nearest recording studio. When he arrived the studio was deserted, except for a young engineer come tape operator by the name of Osbourne Ruddock. For two days they jammed and recorded some of Mr Williams snr's finest ideas. Now for reasons known only to Fate, these tapes were lost in the mist of time, until one day they were discovered by Wilson Tan. The songs and sounds on these tapes became Wilson Tan's blueprints for what is now known as "Country Dub."...The young Osbourne Ruddock later became better known as King Tubby.
