Mark Selby - Nine Pound Hammer (2008) CD

Nine Pound Hammer is a 2008 album by Mark Selby that leans heavily into raw acoustic blues with a stripped-down, live-in-the-studio feel. Backed by a tight trio setup, Selby delivers 12 tracks of slide-heavy guitar work, weathered vocals, and storytelling rooted in Southern grit. Songs like the title track, “Buck-Fifty & a Flat-Head Ford,” “A Good Friend to the Blues,” and “Cold One Closin’ In” stand out for their groove and honesty. The production is warm and unvarnished, letting Selby’s playing and songwriting carry the weight without studio gloss. It’s considered one of his most focused and authentic recordings.
