David
"Honeyboy" Edwards embodies the continuity from blues' Mississippi
Delta roots to electric Chicago blues. Honeyboy's string-snapping
guitar riffs and soulful voice harken back to his friends and teachers
Charley Patton, Big Joe Williams, Tommy Johnson, and Robert Johnson,
who first forged the blues in Delta jooks and at country suppers during
the Depression. Edwards crisscrossed the South in the company of such
blues giants as Big Walter Horton, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Little
Walter Jacobs. He settled in Chicago, where a post-WWII electric blues
boom set the pattern for modern rock and roll. This recording captures
him in a relaxed, unplugged, solo moment. Deep Delta blues from Robert
Johnson's sidekick, whose searing vocals and stinging guitar bridge
pre-war and post-war blues. Reissue of Folkways 3539. 44 minutes.
26-page booklet.
