GUEST,Jim Clark..London..England Hear Bottleneck Bill play 'poor boy' (19) Hear Bottleneck Bill play 'poor boy' 24 Oct 02


Heres a superb version of "Poor boy" performed in the "gitfiddle" style of legendary Mississippi delta bluesman Bukka White who first recorded it in the 1930's.... Bill uses the blunt side of a pen knife to frail the strings and extract the the ringing tones from his guitar this is a technique few perform these days ..heres the link to the page with the sound file
"Poor boy,Long ways from home" Blues performed by Bottleneck Bill (sound file)
