27 Jun 01 - 01:49 PM (#493168) Subject: Is there an old blues lyric database? From: GUEST,Doug I've tried to find old blues lyrics on DigiTrad and have had no luck. For instance on the M. Sheiks' song Stop and Listen Blues. Believe me, I've stopped and listened to it, and can't decipher the whole lyric. Does anyone know of a database or other lyric resource that specializes in trad blues? Thanks |

From: Doc John I don't know if there's an old blues database on the 'net, Stewie but Document records release (nearly) every recorded blues on CD and there is (or was) a series of books by RR MacLeod called 'Document Blues' which list all the lyrics. A bit expensive tho and I don't know if they still exist. Why you can get the most completed old blues CD's from Scotland and some good Scottish CD's from Washington bests me! Doc John |

09 Dec 07 - 09:50 AM (#2211879) Subject: RE: Is there an old blues lyric database? From: PoppaGator The loss of "Uncle Tink"'s MJH lyric site is a cryin' shame. It was more than complete, insofar as there were comments and footnotes in addition to transcriptions of just about every existing recording. I'm not sure exactly how long ago it disappeared; maybe it had something to do with Katrina and/or Rita in August 2005. Tweed or Khandu may know something about this ~ ?? |

09 Dec 07 - 10:08 AM (#2211881) Subject: RE: Is there an old blues lyric database? From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz In the U.S./Canada, the best "old blues lyric database" that I know is still travelling around the world playing gigs. That's people like Paul Geremia, and Roy Book Binder and others, who over 40 years ago, were searching out '78's and bluesmen who were still alive. They went right to the source in the deep south... |
