Three great blues ROIOs of varying ages today out and about . . . so we'll take them in chronological order
I have gone on about my precocious interest in the blues from Leadbelly, Josh White and Big Bill Broonzy early on and what do you know but there's an album featuring all three (not forgetting Sonny Terry who features large here)
From ZeroSounds two samples today and first this early masterpiece collection of three favourites
A Treasury of Folk Music - Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy & Josh White 1966 - Zero G
Huddie William Ledbetter "Leadbelly" (January 1888 – December 6, 1949)
Big Bill Broonzy (26 June 1898 – 15 August 1958)
Joshua Daniel 'Josh' White (February 11, 1914 – September 5, 1969)
with really nice profiles of all three what we have here are inevitably an eclectic selection of songs from the three masters
Enjoy, I think you will . . . . . . . .
