Direct To Disc Arthur Williams With Jesse Hoggard SKU: AAPO006 Barcode: AAPO006 18.00 £18.00 Genre: Blues Label: APO Records Released Date: 17th August 2015 Buying Format: 200g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Harmonica master Arthur Williams and his acoustic guitar-playing partner Jesse Hoggard interpret six classic 12-bar blues – four sung by Arthur and two by Jesse. This duo really nails the front-porch feeling that the best acoustic blues was born from. Jesse’s guitar is perfectly steady with simple, tasteful fills. Arthur’s acoustic harp work is the showstopper. Arthur Williams was born in Tunica, Mississippi in 1937, was raised in Chicago and made his recording debut backing Frank Frost on Jewel Records in 1966. In 1972, he moved to his current home of St. Louis. He still performed but his recording career was dormant as he concentrated on a day job. In the 1990s, he appeared on a few records and put out a few of his own. But no release before this one has captured such an in-person feeling. The dynamics on this direct-to-disc recording are almost frightening. “Though once a staple of audiophile labels, no one really bothers with direct-to-disc anymore, except for Chad Kassem, the iconoclastic head of Acoustic Sounds. His Analogue Productions Originals label has just released two direct-to-disc blues recordings…Both records are excellent sounding, the Williams/Hoggard particularly so. Direct-to-disc yields intensely silent and immediate-sounding LPs. The clarity and natural tonal balance on both is super, and guitarists will love the details – slides, pull-offs, bends, and double-stops – that both records reveal.” – Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, June/July 2005, Issue 154 “On Saturday afternoon Kevin captured the great Leroy Jodie Pierson in a ‘studio’ session direct-to-disc, followed later that day by Arthur Williams and Jesse Hoggard…They captured the excitement and unique atmosphere of this very special event perfectly and you’ll be in for an aural treat when you buy them.” – Richard Foster, Hi-Fi+, Issue 38 Artist Arthur Williams With Jesse Hoggard Genre Blues Label APO Records Buying Options 200g 1LP Format 1LP , 200g Condition New Country United States of America Track Listings Side One I’m A King Bee Since I Met You Baby Go On To School Side Two I’m Gonna Get My Baby Cummins Prison Farm Hug And Squeeze You Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Blues View Product Quick View Earl Hooker The Genius Of Blues | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Earl Hooker The Genius Of £28.00 Genre: Blues Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5206 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Taj Mahal Natch’l Blues (expanded) Blues | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 17th May 2010 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Taj Mahal Natch’l Blues (expanded) £34.00 Genre: Blues Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANCS9698 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th May 2010 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mississippi Sheiks, The Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Vol: 2 Blues | Third Man Records | 180g, 1LP Released 29th April 2013 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mississippi Sheiks, The Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Vol: 2 £15.00 Genre: Blues Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR174 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Alvin Lee Band, The Free Fall Blues | Avatar | 1LP Released 4th April 2024 £7.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Alvin Lee Band, The Free Fall £7.00 Genre: Blues Label: Avatar SKU: nn283911 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Robert Cray Band This Time Blues | Vanguard | 1LP Released 23rd October 2009 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Cray Band This Time £24.00 Genre: Blues Label: Vanguard SKU: 799601 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Marcus King Band, The Soul Insight Blues | Concord | 2LP Released 21st May 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marcus King Band, The Soul Insight £22.00 Genre: Blues Label: Concord SKU: 7223443 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 21st May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gov't Mule Stoned Side Of The Mule Vol. 1 + 2 Blues | Provogue | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th April 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gov't Mule Stoned Side Of The Mule Vol. 1 + 2 £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: PRD74471 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra Rockinghorse (Hand Signed By Jools Holland) Blues | Rhino | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd October 2023 £65.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra Rockinghorse (Hand Signed By Jools Holland) £65.00 Genre: Blues Label: Rhino SKU: nn273232 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Jeff Beck Loud Hailer Blues | Atco | 1LP Released 13th March 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jeff Beck Loud Hailer £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Atco SKU: nn282658 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Joe Bonamassa Live At Carnegie Hall – An Acoustic Evening Blues | Provogue | 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released 20th June 2017 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Bonamassa Live At Carnegie Hall – An Acoustic Evening £23.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: 819873014898 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Blues Start again
