Legends of Country Blues Guitar Volume One

Legends of Country Blues Guitar Volume One

Featuring: Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House, Mance Lipscomb, Rev. Gary Davis, Henry Townsend, Robert Pete Williams, Josh White & Brownie McGhee Blues music was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century by rural black musicians. They shaped it with brilliant inspiration from disparate elements of black song. By the early 1920s recorded urban performers solidified the standard three-verse, 12 bar meter structure that has identified most blues. The blues revival of the early 1960s brought many of these survivors to the forefront of traditional music. The rare footage presented in this video is a treasure beyond imagining, drawn from a myriad of sources, depicting some of the greatest blues musicians who ever lived. Titles include: Mance Lipscomb: Silver City, Angel Child · Mississippi John Hurt: Spike Driver, You're Going To Walk That Lonesome Valley Blues · Big Bill Broonzy: Worried Man Blues, How You Want It Done, John Henry, Blues in E · Brownie McGhee: Don't Kid Me · Son House: Death Letter Blues , I Had A Woman in Hughes · Rev. Gary Davis: Children of Zion, Death Don't Have No Mercy · Robert Pete Williams: Mamie · Henry Townsend: Cairo Blues · Josh White: Jelly Jelly

Legends of Bottleneck Blues Guitar

Legends of Bottleneck Blues Guitar

Legends Of Bottleneck Blues Guitar presents rare and historical recordings from 1965-1970 of some of the greatest exponents of this blues technique. Black bottleneck guitar styles were probably initially inspired by lap-style Hawaiian slide guitar which enjoyed immense popularity shortly after its inception in the mid-1890s. By 1903, it was already in vogue in Mississippi (and probably elsewhere) according to testimony from W. C. Handy, Gus Cannon and others. Although particularly popular in Mississippi and Louisiana, bottleneck styles could be found the length and breadth of the rural South. While there were similarities amongst guitarists in some locales, there was no preponderant style or approach other than the ability and imagination of the guitarist employing a slide technique. The musicians presented in this video are amongst the greatest exponents of slide blues guitar who ever lived and are ample testimony to the superb variety available in this style. Titles include: Son House: Death Letter Blues, Levee Camp Moan · Johnny Shines: Ramblin', Tell Me Mama, Mr. Tom Green's Farm · Fred McDowell: Louise, Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning, I Heard Somebody Call, Break "Em On Down, My Babe · Jesse Fuller: Hark from the Tomb, I'm Glad Salvation's Free, John Henry Furry Lewis Brownsville Blues · Mance Lipscomb: Motherless Children Have a Hard Time.
