Weekly Music Review - Edition 1

[Avante]

In the early 20's Bessie Smith along with the Louis Armstrong band recorded the classic "St. Louis Blues". A few years later Emmett Miller who performed in black face also recorded the tune. It is considered a blues standard.

So how cool is it to see a full fledged choir giving it a shot?





I find the history, the origins of the sounds fascinating. The Animals made "House of the Rising Sun" famous. But it's an old song.




Speaking of Emmett Miller, his "Lovesick Blues" was made famous some 25 years later by the great Hank Williams.
