Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Big Joe Knows The BluesRecorded 1964 in Chicago,Classic Delta Blues from the big man and his nine string guitar covers different Delta artist as in Charlie Patton,Robert Johnson,Sonhouse,in his own Joe Williams style,with blues classics such as Hellhound On My Trail,Pony Blues,Special Rider Blues and another Johnson composition,Crossroad Blues.Big Joe Williams the man from Mississippi plays it like nobody else with that distinctive nine string,(although this cd notes six string)with his powerful vocals,rolling down the line with one song after another,as you listen to a Charlie Patton tune as in,Bird's Nest Bound,you wish Patton's recordings sounded that good,most of Patton's recordings are distorted due to 78's as the only source.Overall this is a good Big Joe Williams ...

The album suffers a little bit from songs sounding too alike. I like how many Charley Patton songs were performed very well. I could have done without hearing "Terraplane Blues" for the 10,000th time. Nobody can play it like Robert Johnson, save Johnny Shines. Part of the appeal of this album is Big Joe Williams' 9 string guitar. While I disagree with the reviewer who gave this album five stars, I'm not questioning his taste. This is a solid effort from Williams. Rating:  - Classic Delta Blues Really Is a Classic!Growing up in a small New England town in the 50s and 60s, the closest thing to the blues I ever heard was some Fats Domino records(which on second thought wasn't bad!)-- until a friend of a friend came back from Kent State with Big Joe Williams' Classic Delta Blues. This was one of the most intense musical experiences of my life, opening up vistas of expression I had never dreamed of. The singing rates with the best of the Mississipi bluesmen, and the guitar playing is brilliant and surrealistic, conjuring up an endless kalaidoscope of images. I can't think of a better introduction to the world of country blues. Rating: - mushmouf bloozHe done play a mean geetar yas sir but he sho sound like he gotta a mowf fulla buffalowballs. |
