The creation of songwriter and guitar/harmonica virtuoso Donnie (“Mr. Downchild”) Walsh, Downchild has an illustrious and colourful history now spanning five decades. Something I’ve Done is another stellar entry in a discography with very few equals in terms of both quantity (it is their eighteenth album) and quality. The history of Downchild would certainly make a fascinating movie, and in fact aspects of the band’s story were used in the hit movie The Blues Brothers.
The Toronto-based group’s universally-recognized status as Canada’s best-loved blues band is reaffirmed by the accolades they receive including: JUNO Awards, Entertainer of The Year at the Maple Blues Awards, as well as North American festival favourites in both North American and European Blues Festivals.
