About
Juno and WCMA winner Big Dave McLean, the heart and soul of the Winnipeg music scene, has been singing the blues better anyone for decades now. It’s a journey that’s taken him hooting, hollering and testifying through every juke joint and dance hall across the country, including an opening gig for Muddy Waters.
“Better The Devil You Know” sees producer Steve Dawson pushing Dave far beyond his Chicago and Delta blues roots and into country blues, southern gospel, and Americana. He captures every gravelly, weathered note of Dave’s rough-hewn vocals like a cabinet-maker captures the beauty of distressed wood.
