back in the sixties Big Joe Williams had an album issued on the "Bounty" label of him playing his amazing blues out in the middle of a field,but sadly completely let down by the fiddler and the sound recordist(who sounded like he was recording on a home cassette deck..dreadful sound quality ha ha)....From my experience the fiddlers within the blues culture have lacked the skill to carry it off,though i'm sure a modern day revivalist who came at it from a traditional folk background could do it justice....I suppose that song "The devil came down from georgia" wasnt a million miles off from blues with its appalachian origins and its rather bluesy feel,and utilised the fiddle with excellent effect

The man with no name ha ha..
