T-Bone! Thanks Patrick!
RépondreSupprimerI have other Cds in this “Jazz & Blues Collection” series, including this late T-Bone album (1970), which is still interesting and was a source of inspiration for Chuck Berry: “Everything people see me do on stage, I got from T-Bone Walker.”
RépondreSupprimerThanks for your comment soulpapa!
It's interesting that blues guitarists have been using guitar and performing tricks right from the early years. Charley Patton used to play with his guitar behind his head and behind his back. T-Bone Walker was one of the earliest electric guitar players to use all sorts of performing tricks on stage. When Hendrix first went to the UK and Europe doing all that wildman stuff with his guitar it was nothing new, he had spent a few years touring the Chitlin Circuit and had picked up all those tricks from other black R&B performers.
SupprimerYes, I noted all that thanks to an article in Rolling Stones France. I focused on Chuck Berry because T-Bone Walker was a really big influence, and I think they were related (?), but I need to check that. I appreciate your comments, Bob, and I'm learning a lot about the blues from all your compilations. Many of them are discoveries for me. Thank you so much for that!
RépondreSupprimerThere's a video on YT of T-Bone Walker playing in France when he was with one of the early 60s American folk-blues tours, and you can hear some of the audience boo T-Bone because he came out with an electric guitar. Those audience members associated the electric guitar with rock & roll, and to them a real bluesman should play acoustic.
RépondreSupprimer...No comment! Effectively, it's not a reference.
