„Come Back To Me Baby” (A. Walker) Recorded: Chicago, December 19, 1945 T-Bone Walker (vcl) (g) Melvin Moore, Nick Cooper (tp), Nathan Joseph, Frank Derrick (as), Moses Grant (ts), Marl Young (p), unknown (b) (d) Walker was born on May 26, 1910 in Linden, Texas of African American and Cherokee descent. When he was a young man his family moved to a region of south Dallas known as Oak Cliff where he met and learned from Blind Lemon Jefferson, another blues musician. Walker’s recording debut was “Wichita Falls Blues”/”Trinity River Blues”, recorded for Columbia Records in 1929 under the name Oak Cliff T-Bone. His distinctive sound did not develop until 1942, when Walker recorded “Mean Old World” for Capitol Records. His electric guitar solos were among the first heard on modern blues recordings and set a standard that is still followed. [Some music historians cite Ernest Tubb's 1940 honky tonk classic, "Walking the Floor over You" as the first "hit" recording to feature and highlight a solo by a standard electric guitar--though earlier hits featured electric lap steel guitars. The blues master Lonnie Johnson had also recorded at least once on electric guitar, but his innovation was neither much noted nor influential.] Much of Walker’s output was recorded from 1946–1948 on Black & White Records, including 1947′s “Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)”, with its famous opening line, “They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday’s just as bad”. He followed up with his …

„You Got To Have Your Dollar” (Fuller) Recorded: Chicago, June 19, 1940 Blind Boy Fuller (g) (vcl), Sonny Terry (h), Oh Red (w) Blind Boy Fuller (born Fulton Allen) (July 10, 1907[1] – February 13, 1941) was an American blues guitarist and vocalist. He was one of the most popular of the recorded Piedmont blues artists with rural Black Americans, a group that also included Blind Blake, Josh White, and Buddy Moss. Fulton Allen was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina to Calvin Allen and Mary Jane Walker. He was one of a family of 10 children, but after his mother’s death he moved with his father to Rockingham. As a boy he learned to play the guitar and also learned from older singers the field hollers, country rags, and traditional songs and blues popular in poor, rural areas. He married Cora Allen young and worked as a labourer, but began to lose his eyesight in his mid-teens. According to researcher Bruce Bastin, “While he was living in Rockingham he began to have trouble with his eyes. He went to see a doctor in Charlotte who allegedly told him that he had ulcers behind his eyes, the original damage having been caused by some form of snow-blindness”. However, there is an alternative story that he was blinded by an ex-girlfriend who threw chemicals in his face. By 1928 he was completely blind, and turned to whatever employment he could find as a singer and entertainer, often playing in the streets. By studying the records of country blues players like Blind Blake and the …

Mark Twang says ” These dudes are real Kool” The Original Delta Fireballs is blues harp player Geneva Red’s duo. Her partner, here playing slide guitar and drums at the same time in the tradition of one man band performers Joe Hill Louis, Dr. Ross and Elmon Mickle is Jackie 5 & Dime, who also plays guitar on Red’s larger band Geneva Red & The Roadsters. This video clip of them playing WC Handy’s song The Saint Louis Blues was shot at Clark Place in Stevens Point, WI. When the critics speak of Geneva Red they often cite as her influences some of the greatest harmonica players in American music history. Here are some samples, in their own words: Geneva Red plays with a driving style that touches all the ancestral bases. – LIVING BLUES MAGAZINE, USA Her tone and phrasing brought to mind the Chicago blues greats – Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonny Boy #2, and Jimmy Reed. – AMERICAN HARMONICA NEWS MAGAZINE, USA A tradition-slanted set that shows off Red’s harp-blowing skills amid fine arrangements by the excellent Roadsters. Hot spots include Red’s haunting minor-key “A Lil Somethin’”, Wolworth’s slow blues “When I Wonder” (with Big Walter tone from Red), the funky “Taxin’ Me”, and the strong reading of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Who’s Been Talkin’”. – BLUES REVUE MAGAZINE, USA …her rootsy harp (especially in “Bring It On Home”) is sooo Walter Horton it is a delight to hear. -ANDRE HOBUS, SOUL BAG MAGAZINE, ITALY You’ve got Sonny Boy Williamson & Charlie Musselwhite all mixed into one there, man what a harmonica player that young …
