First time listening to the above - Chess LPs 45rpm - with a young Buddy Guy also playing. Absolutely fantastic album and wonderful sound quality - reminds me why I love vinyl.
oh yes. Those big leg wimens. I have almost as many blues a classical CDs. I was not sure they would be around forever, but the ease of remastering and reissuing CDs makes them likely to be with us forever.
I agree with you, Vicks. I've listened to Folk Singer hundreds of times. One of my favorite blues albums.
FWIW, some of my other blues favorites that are just one man and his instrument...
John Lee Hooker, The Country Blues Fred McDowell, The First Recordings Son House, Original Delta Blues Lightnin Hopkins, Country Blues Robert Pete Williams, Robert Pete Williams Big Bill Broonzy, Trouble in Mind
Thanks Bryon - I will check these out. Can these all be obtained on vinyl? Any particularly good pressings? Another blues album I strongly recommend is Alone and Acoustic - Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. The final track of the album is a particular favourite. I only have this on CD.
Vicks - I have Alone and Acoustic and you're right, it's great. I can't tell you whether the albums I mentioned are available on vinyl, since I'm digital only (gasp). :-) Even if you can't find them on vinyl, if you love Folk Singer and Alone and Acoustic, I think you'll really enjoy them.
