Oh yeah man!! The Blind Boys of Alabama are tremendous. Have any of you checked out Cephas and Wiggins? I mentioned them earlier in the thread but there have been so many great artists mentioned that I wanted to make sure they didn't get lost in the mix. For Piedmont style blues man they are top notch. I love hearing them play. Charles Brown has a voice that takes me away to a distant land. I melt and warm feeling inside. My thoughts are anything but blue while my ears swim in a tasteful ocean of jazz inpired runs hammered out on the piano by Charles Brown.
Well I'm drifting I'm drifting
Like a ship out on a stormy sea
piano starts it's blee blee blee blee blee blee
a higher 7th note run that just seals the deal between the listner and Mr.Browns elegant and tasteful jazz inspired blues.
I love Charles Brown his earlier stuff is by far his best in my opinion.
