Avante, you amaze me.
Give me what I'd need to listen to to get them old prewar blues.
Cool~~~
You'd need a blend of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, St.Louis, Georgia, Mississippi, Memphis and the Piedmont sounds. We need females, jug bands, hillbillies, piano players, guitar pickers, religious freaks, harmonica players.
The 30ish that best tell the story, talking 1920 and Mamie Smith to 1941 and Muddy Waters Plantation Recordings.
Those two.
Robert Johnson
Papa Charley Jackson
Blind Willie Johnson
Sonny Boy Williamson
Jimmie Rodgers
Peetie Wheatstraw
The Carter Family
Ma Rainey
Big Bill Broonzy
Roosevelt Sykes
Frank Hutchison
Leroy Carr
Charley Patton....has to be heard to be believed
Bessie Smith
Emmett Miller...performed in black face

I own some stuff recorded right there in the church/prison or out on the chain gang, talking pre 1940, talk about a cool trip, there it is.
I have one recording where Mississippi Delta legend Son House and a harmonica player Leroy Williams are playing right outside a bar (1942) when a train comes along, how cool is that?
This was recorded on the same trip, this time it was in a church in Clarksdale. This is considered a ..gem...treasure....by guys like myself, simply a masterpiece.
Without question the greatest discovery when it comes to recording convicts. The one and only....Lead Belly.
The first song Elvis recorded at those famous 1954 Sun Records sessions in Memphis. I do like Elvis but, he couldn't match this....
Elvis also covered Midnight Train a tune by fellow Sun recording artist Junior Parker and Tomorrow Night by legendary guitarist Lonnie Johnson. He failed to really capture the black in those songs, but not bad.
In 1941 Alan Lomax ****(Library of Congress) pulled into The Stovall Plantation looking for McKinley Morganfield. Thinking thiese white guys in the big car were there because of his illegal monshine biz Morganfield ran and hid.
Anyway.....
It finally got sorted out and right there on his front porch we heard the very first recordings by the great....Muddy Waters.....yep, I own that CD. I love "important" music.
**** he was the guy who first recorded Lead Belly at the infamous Angola Prison.

Pete Seegar wrote this, I can't relate to strikes/scabs but she really sells the feel.
Some of the most haunting, eerie sounds we have came from those Appalachian hicks. Names like....Dock Boggs, Hazel ens, Roscoe Holcomb. B.F.Shelton recorded 4 songs three are about killing three different women.
The picture is Dock Boggs, not B.F.Shelton.
This is in my opnion as good as white blues gets, the great Frank Hutchison, he worked those West Virginia coal mines.
I get some get stuck on rap, metal, punk, hip hop, funk, soul. country. jazz, whatever, but to ignore that HUGE world of music out there....why? I want it all so I have it all.
