Din top 5 over pre-war blues artister?

[Jess Franco]

Jeg synes bare satire bare skal låne alle de nævnte artister som han kan få gennem bibliotek.dk og derefter anskaffe sig dem han bedst kan li. Men det er jo en komplet vanvittig ting at sige på svingninger.dk

[Tobak]

Det er da den helt rigtige vej at gå, men også meget tidskrævende. Biblioteker er jo guldgruber.

[satirejohn]

Ja, det er da rigtigt at det er en fin idé. Jeg vil ihvertfald nok gøre noget lignende. Men derfor kan man jo stadig godt give anbefalinger... Så tak for dem der har været indtil videre!

[Golden Hour]

Mine favoritter er: Big Joe Williams, Memphis Minnie, Son House, Skip James, Blind Willie Mctell (klart den bedste pre-war blues stemme der findes), Blind Lemon Jefferson. Naesten alt Lightnin' Hopkins har roert ved er godt, og han fortsatte med optagelser i 50'erne.

Der findes hundredevis af comps. Man gaar naesten aldrig forkert, vaer dog lige opmaerksom at under den der blues revival i 60'erne var der mange af de gamle drenge, der begyndte at optage igen og ikke dem alle var lige heldige (Skip James var maaske den allerheldigste). Hvis man skal vaere sikker, kan man undersoege recording dates paa sangene.

Folkways Records(discogslink) udgav 2000+ plader.
Hvis du vil finde en masse navne i artikler med god namedropping kan du bare laese lidt om Lomax familien. Hvis du er til BB King, saa tjek hellere Muddy Waters, Guitar Slim og Howlin' Wolf ud, de er meget bedre.

Glem ikke Woody Guthrie, han var nogengange neger. Folkways udgav Folkways: The Original Vision. En plade med baade Woody og Leadbelly, og der er saagar en duet derpaa.
