The Rough Guide to Unsung Heroes Of Country Blues Various Artists SKU: RGNET1334LP Barcode: 605633633429 14.00 £14.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: World Music Network Released Date: 15th April 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Here’s an album which delves that bit deeper into the early origins of the blues highlighting some of the often overlooked & greatest blues pioneers of their day. It’s a great insight into some of the best country blues you’ve never heard with an incredibly diverse selection of tracks which includes bottleneck guitar playing, upbeat rags, classic songster tunes and free work song inspired rhythms. Includes a FREE download card allowing you to download the full album. Very little is known about many of these featured early blues artists, other than the simple fact that their classic recordings are like arrows through time and have a cutting edge coolness which defies the age in which they were recorded. These tracks are essential listening for any blues connoisseur, and an adventure into some of the more hidden recesses of country blues. Several of the more widely recorded artists on this compilation such as Gus Cannon, Henry Thomas, Frank Stokes and Peg Leg Howell bridged the gap between early blues and the minstrel and folk styles that preceded it and are central figures in the story of the blues. Likewise the music of Geeshie Wiley, who only recorded three records, provides the perfect example of how black secular music was merging with the blues, with truly mesmerising results. These precious recordings will hopefully open your ears to some of the often overlooked & greatest blues pioneers of their day.
