Can’t wait for the arrival of V 4 of this series. V1-3 are must haves for any serious students of American Blues. The DVD captures performances of some of the the greatest – Bluesmen/women – America has ever produced.
As iternated in the booklets of V. 1-3, many modern rockers/bluesmen – ie Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Robert Plant . . etc. say, these gaints were major influences on their careers.
Don’t hesitate – - – order it !!!

These magnificent perfomances from the British tours feature some hot and quite historical moments from the history of blues;
I couldn’t care less for the influence these guys had on British and European rock, folk and blues music; I’m only here for the blues!
Sonny Boy Williamson is a marvel, but so is Lonnie Johnson, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, Howlin’ Wolf, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Sugar Pie Desanto (I’m tellin’ ya; when such a passionate woman sings “rock me baby like my back has got no bones” it is more convincing than when guys do it)…
The vocals are great, guitars are diverse and effective, back musicians (pianists, guitarists, bassists – Willie Dixon for instance) are first rate and Sonny Boy’s harmonica (a mouth organ unique)… And then there’s more!
In bonus tracks there are some magnificent performances from “Gospel and Blues Train” Tv show – some by Muddy Waters, some by Sister Rosetta Tharpe (“Didn’t it Rain”, “Trouble in mind”, a true giant of guitar and gospel-oriented singing…
