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.

Son House THE ORIGINAL DELTA BLUES Columbia / Legacy 1965 / 1998 Notes: "...Persuading them to lose the carefully acquired skills of several decades and play in the fashion of their youth required a certain amount of tact. Thirty years on, it seems prescriptive and high handed. Eddie J. House Jr.--Son House--provided no surprises of that kind when he got his second chance. He had not played music at all for seven or eight years, and probably not with any regularity since the early 1940s, when he left his native Mississippi to live and work in Rochester in upstate New York. Unlike some of his contemporaries, he was not about to "go electric", or to break into a recent R&B hit like "High Heel Sneakers." His repertoire and guitar techniques really were frozen in the past." wiki: Born: March 21, 1902, Lyon, MS Died: October 19, 1988, Detroit, MI Pearline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMvFa3qteu8 John The Revelator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_QnBIarHc0 Death Letter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsgFo2irGjo Levee Camp Moan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsgFo2irGjo Preachin' Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR7jjOoFOw Cheers |

She has spent many years abroad--including more than twenty five trips to the European and Pacific theaters of war with the USO during World War ll, and later in Korea."

Etta James ETTA JAMES ROCKS THE HOUSE Chess / MCA 1963 / 1992 Notes: "ROCKS THE HOUSE captures James in peak form, riding the momentum from her first string of hits late in 1963. It's Etta in her natural environment, working a very live crowd and feeding off their frenzied response to her inspired interpretations of Blues standards and then-current R&B hits." All that was missing, was a real blues band and someone who knew how to record a live performance.
