had a chance to explore this. I was familiar with most of these
artists. A few nice gems, Jim & Bob (The Genial Hawaiians)
perform "St. Louis Blues," a track Django Reinhardt
recorded. Martin Simpson rendition of Blind Willie Johnson's "I
Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes" a superb.
CD liner notes include a paragraph about the
artist and the source of the album the songs originally appeared on.
Product Description
The mesmerizing sound of a bottleneck slide across guitar strings is synonymous with the
Delta blues. Developed around the turn of the last century, bottleneck-playing cultivated
great variety and skill, from the Hawaiian-influenced guitar style of Casey Bill Weldon to
the twelve-string guitar brilliance of Blind Willie McTell and the gospel playing of Blind
Willie Johnson. The Rough Guide To Bottleneck Blues focuses on the timeless recordings of
the original blues legends and pays tribute to the second-generation
bottleneck masters of today.
