AMERICANA | Traditional Roots & Blues (only)

I respect Clifton sssooo much, he takes the old stuff & brings it into the present day BUT still keeps it legit & real.

The version of "Oh Death" I first heard (I'm on about lyrics as these old songs tend to change from county to county, same with the old blues)

Damn!!!!!

Heard that song done 1001 different ways but I never heard it like that. The photos add an extra punch to it in my opinion as you know they ain't staged etc.

All stuff these days in music videos are hired cars, hired models or escorts who eat dick when the footage is shot, this is Real Life & Proper music. If that doesn't turn you over in an emotional way you are dead.

it's one my grandpa used to sing all the time. Ralph stanley did it best IMO.
 
First time I ever heard a Mississippi Fred McDowell track decades ago, his still my favourite blues player of all time & my 2nd favourite slide player Blind WilliecJohnsin is #1 if anyone cares.

 
The White Buffalo, or Jake Smith. How y'all got 6 pages in without him is beyond me.

Oh Darlin' Darlin' What Have I Done?


Love Song #1


The Whistler
 
Okay help me out. I am seriously falling in love with slow blues music.

No piano. I dislike piano. But you know really deep and emotional and... blues. What is out there? Anything "legendary" or artists considered to have icon status? Male or female vocalist or just instrumental, does not matter. Old music, new music, i don't care. I need this stuff these days. I don't download torrents or anything, so something from youtube maybe?

@Ghost fart

I assume you are on about proper Mississippi Delta Blues?

Mississippi Fred Mcdowell, Son House, Skip James, Robert Pete Williams is a good place to begin.

As slow as it can go & REAL TALK too, he was in jail for shooting a man to death as the guy said to him at a bar "You better go pick some more cotton or I'm gonna fuck you up" so Mr Willimas sprayed him in the stomach with his .45




Also this too, more Real Talk from Skip James
