Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown STANDING MY GROUND Alligator Records 1989 No notes to speak of, just a foldout with track info. I think the album title refers to his playing and defending his style of Blues. I put him in a class by himself.

Hey rok, when I saw this thread listed in the "suggested" list on the right side of my screen, I figured "Oh no, here's another source of fantastic music I've been unaware of." Very happy to see you just started this one and there are only 28 posts. Easier to stay current with than JFA. Thanks! For me, this may still the most amazing blues performance ever. 100% Delta. Sheer passion, abandon, unbridled emotion: Son House "Death Letter Blues" (live in Europe about 60 years ago) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdgrQoZHnNY |
