Booker Orchestra – “Camp Nelson Blues” (mp3)

Jim Booker, who learned fiddle playing from his father, a former slave in Kentucky, with his string band Booker Orchestra: his younger brothers Joe and John Booker on guitars, and neighbor Robert Steele on kazoo. Can’t say we know much about Camp Nelson, but whatever happened there was enough to inspire the Booker Brothers to write this upbeat blues jig. A fiddlers delight, here.  I’m proud to have this mp3 for your listening pleasure.

Blind Willie Reynolds – “Cold Woman Blues” (mp3)

Blind Joe Reynolds was both a lover and a fighter. He was as accurate with his bottle neck guitar picking as he was with a gun. Blinded by a shotgun blast, Joe still had excellent hearing which he used to fine tune his musical. Blind Joe Reynolds also supported a polyamorous life style and shamelessly sung about this in most of his songs. “Cold Woman Blues” is a fine example of his rough loving ways. The only copy was thought to have been lost until 2000, and now lives on in the public domain.
