🌑 TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM BLAKE 🌑
A Blues Offering by Tyger Band
Tribute to William Blake is a full-length concept album by Tyger Band, transforming the visionary poetry of William Blake into raw, hypnotic Delta Blues, Swamp Blues, and Swamp Rock.
This album does not merely set poems to music — it drags Blake’s visions into the mud, the night, and the heat, where slide guitars howl, harmonicas preach, and rhythms move like slow southern water.
Blake’s eternal themes — innocence and experience, mercy and cruelty, heaven and hell — are reborn here as songs meant to be felt, not read.
