Blues Blues Blues: Redux - Page 47 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Bobby Rush was terrific. He said he has recorded 419 songs and remembers 350. He talked a little bit about hanging out with "old guys" when he was 17. The old guys were Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, etc. They were around 30. He said, and I take some of what he said with a grain of salt, that he was offered "Hoochie Coochie Man" but told the composer to give it to Muddy because he wasn't old enough to sing it.

The guy is 90 years old and did an hour and a half show without missing a beat. His songs were filled with innuendo which really wasn't innuendo at all. Nice to see a 90 year old bouncing around like he was. James Montgomery sat in for a harmonica solo.

I liked this song.

a friend emailed me a sound clip of him playing slide. he's probably mid-80s and grew up in miss. it was quite wonderful, but i don't know how to share it.

A Master harp player, imo. Some people don't agree because his licks are so simple, but the tone he gets out of that thing is phenomenal -- and all without a dedicated mic or effects pedals. There's something he "gets" that no one else does.

No idea who is playing guitar on this famous recording, but he is a master.

Saw this guy tonight. He's not in good shape these days, but he still moved around the audience and sat next to us playing for a few songs. I had to help him out of his chair.

A coffee can? Who knows what they were doing in the studio back then. You could get close picking at the bridge saddle and playing with harmonics.
