anyone else enjoy old blues like robert johnson, blind lemon jefferson, leadbelly, charley patton etc or is it just me ??? simple yet sad lyrics, just a dude busking thru the terrible Deep South during the Jim Crow Era trying to make a name for themself…like delta blues style guitar always captivated me i wonder if it could be incorporated into modern music…i hope i can try to one day
This man has made me want to learn how to play banjo more than anything in the world.
I found a bunch of his live performances on youtube. It seems he’s more of a period musician, playing songs from the minstrel era of banjo music, and often he explains the history behind the songs. Truly, the amount of talent is insane and every song hits u right in the heart. (Recommending music is such an interesting thing, words are hard to describe it)
Highly recommend listening to the songs he played at The Ark! “No More the Moon Shines on Lorena” makes me cry everytime I hear it.
I linked Old Dog Blues:
UGH IT DOES SOMETHING TOO ME SO GOOD. The chicks, Hank Williams, Kenny Roger, fats domico, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, big mama thornton, Nina Simone and like many more.
