Since this is another fail for this freak.
Speaking of England.
Here were all these young Brits digging our old blues. Stuff that most of white America looked at as jiggaboo music. So here come The Rolling Stones (got that name from a Muddy Waters song) The Animals, and while The Beatles weren't bluesy John Lennon did say..."meet Muddy Waters".....when asked what was the first thing he wanted to do now that he was in America. Led Zeppelin covered a lot of old blues tunes. Pink Floyd got that name from old blues cats...Pink Anderson and Floyd Council (both rather obscure).
So here we are thinking that stuff belonged to them, until we start digging into it. That's how I discovered them blues.It took the Brits to wake me up to it.
In his book, Keith Richards talks about how he found Heaven on earth. He had some how slipped off while in Mississippi and ended up the only white cat in an black juke joint out in the sticks. So there he was dancing with some big black mama to a backwoods blues band. He had finally found his Utopia.
This is the tune that gave us....The Rolling Stones.
This guy only recorded three records in 1938, how anyone in Pink Floyd knew about him....?
Floyd Council.
Pink Anderson recorded two records way back in 1927. Then he got lost, he would resurface in the late 50's and did record some records. Both Pink and Floyd belonged to the Piedmont school of blues.
I have a tape I made, 90 minutes of old blus cats who recorded but one record, a couple just one song.
This is a cat noboby knows anything about at all. Not even his name or how he even recorded. Nobody has a clue about how this got on a record. Yep, just one song. This is the most obscure recording artist we have. He called himself....Freezone.
Down here.
