Thread Name: Piedmont Blues, at least three flavors
Subject: RE: Piedmont Blues, at least three flavors
yazoo put out a compilation quite a while ago called east coast blues which contains songs by many of the artists you cited including two by willie walker which were, i believe, the only sides he ever recorded. i think one generality you could make about the piedmont style is that musicians from that region seem to have been more influenced by ragtime than bluesmen from other areas. dave
