Blues for Aficionados


I have found that postings music is a good way to listen to all the music in your collection.  I have neglected the ultimate source of much of the music I post.  This tread corrects that oversight.  All Blues post are welcome.  I will concentrate on the Delta.

Notes: Back when the Blues was being called folk music, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee were some of the first people to be recorded, and they were one of the first country Blues harp and guitar duets I heard.  I loved them, but I always felt like Sonny was never quite in his element.  Brownie's a great guitar player but he has that mellow, pretty Carolina style and Sonny's voice was always more raspy -- it had a lot of the Mississippi Delta quality to it.  So when Sonny asked if I'd produce an album with him, I tried to make a record with a lot of Delta feel to it, like we had cut the record in Mississippi.  That why I played a lot of slide on it.

@dabel:

Glad you like the posts.  Memphis was also our annual trip to the big city.  I thought it was a million miles away.

Cheers
