Castro Coleman aka Mr. Sipp. The Mississippi Blues Child. He’s a blues and gospel singer. Also a musician, songwriter, and guitarist. Mr. Sipp was the 2014 International Blues Challenge winner. His name Mr. Sipp is short for Mississippi. That’s where he’s from carrying on the legacies like Muddy Waters, BB King, and Howlin’ Wolf. They were also from Mississippi.
Mr. Sipp’s song “Too Much Water” is about him moving on and no more fussing and fighting with his woman. She wants to give their relationship another shot, but he thinks they are better off if they were just friends, and he couldn’t get over what she did. Too much water under the bridge.
The song “Too Much Water” comes from Mr. Sipps 2015 album. The Mississippi Blues Child. The Mississippi Blues Child is himself. Mr. Sipp is a great blues man with a passion of playing the guitar along with his friend Dexter Allen.
Mr. Sipp believes that Blues and gospel are like cousins; that they are similar. His friend Dexter Allen explains that in the gospel you’re speaking about a deliverer, and in the blues you just want to be delivered.
Dexter and Sipp both have gospel backgrounds. It’s not hard to feel what Mr. Sipp is singing about when he sings , “Too Much Water”. That’s what we want and need in music. You can feel the sound of what is being played.
