I own up to being one of those who strongly believe that white folks cannot sing blues convincingly. I tend to ignore the white copyists but knowing that Bonnie has been around a while having played with Fred MacDowell and John Lee Hooker to name just two I wondered if any of the instrumental side of her work would be worth hearing. For my taste it wasn't I found it boring and her voice lacking any passion.
However the following four hours on BBC4 were mostly very, very good.
Following last week's offering and Sunday's programme on Big Bill Broonzy it's been quite a good week.
So congratulations to BBC4 for some decent intelligent programming.
