............. Aufnahmen 1967. .................
"Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit, als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten " (Rilke) und auf dem Plattenteller läuft der pure Herbst-Blues. "Somebody Poor Help Me" zeigt genau wie es auf den 10 Tracks dieser essenziell aufgenommen Scheibe langgeht. Robert Pete Williams schreit sich die blue notes aus der Seele. Seine Akustik-Gitarre zupft er in einem aberwitzigen Country-Style. Manchmal lässt er sein Bottleneck tanzen. Das verlorene Südstaaten-Feeling kommt gerade bei "Motherless Children Have A Hard Time" voll zum Tragen. Der Falsett-Gesang bei "This Is A Mean Old World To Me" geht unter die Seelen-Haut.
Die Gitarren-Riffs dazu sind lyrisch-mystisch. Kein Wunder , dass sich viele bekannte Blues-Rocker wie auch Eric Clapton, Keith Richards oder Jimmy Page auf diesen schwarzen Mann beziehen. Verabschiedet werden wir mit "It's A Long Old Road". Und sollte einer einmal fragen was ist eigentlich echter Blues, dann einfach diese LP auflegen. Ergänzt wird die Edition von einem achtseitigen sehr informativen Booklet. Prädikat: Gehört in jede Blues-Sammlung. Aber auch Freunde von Roots-Musik sind eingeladen! .................

Product-Information:................
Over 50 years since his discovery by ethnomusicologists Dr. Harry Oster and Richard Allen in the prison farm of Angola, Louisiana, what is it that makes the blues as sung and picked out by Robert Pete Williams such a singular listening experience, unequalled elsewhere in that musical form? As Peter Guralnick, in his Feel Like Going Home book writes: "It's difficult to approve the banalities of most blues singers after listening to Robert Pete Williams. More than anyone else he shatters the conventions of the form and refuses to rely upon any of the clichés, either of music or of lyric, which bluesman after bluesman will invoke. Instead he sings blues which reflect a unique and personal vision; he makes each song unmistakably his own." Unfamiliar keys, cliché-free lyricism, spontaneity, an individualistic style in invoking his particular blues, all make Robert Pete Williams an idiosyncratic entry into the canon. It's impossible to listen to blues artists before him and hear strains of his particular style. None have matched it since. Louisiana Blues contains 10 songs recorded in the month of July 1966 out in Berkeley, California for John Fahey's Takoma imprint. Includes the original 8 page booklet with liner notes. ................
