****************************************************************************
"The one-man-band is a rare commodity nowadays, though there are notable exceptions: the wild, sinful Bob Log III, Chicago polymath The Lonesome Organist, and now Half Deaf Clatch. The nom-de-blues of one Andrew McLatchie, Half Deaf Clatch hails from the north of England, but his sound is native to Mississippi, specifically its delta and hill country blues forms. With just a resonator guitar, a slide and an amplified plank of wood - his 'stompboard' - Half Deaf Clatch achieves some wonderful, wonderful sounds."
- Classic Rock Blues, Classic Rock presents The Blues (issue 3) (Sep 28, 2012)

"Andrew 'Half Deaf' Clatch is a great proponent of one-man delta blues - and not just the Humber delta, for these sounds are rooted firmly in the Mississippi delta too. Highly recommended"
- Gary Grainger (British Blues Awards, Independent Blues Broadcaster of the Year 2012).

Dirty South Blues

Goddamn, Robert, you are the man! Some damn fine southern blues, unlike any I have experienced. The replay value on this son of a bitch is outstanding. I believe I'm on my 10th spin after what a week? Dark lullabies to calm the disturbed & disturb the comforted I have to say, I have never heard a version of Killing Floor Blues quite like Robert's. Only one of the many reasons I keep coming back to this 💎 ©ough©ool
