	Blues Foundation :: Lesson Plans
		The Blues was born out of the oppression and disenfranchisement of African American slaves in this region of the country.
		The first settlements, all the way north, were along the river, and African Americans settled in these areas early on as a result of slavery, and, in the free states, because of the work that was available along the river as the result of the steamboats, i.e.
		In these times, if an African American person wanted to travel North it was best to stay close to the River, where you were assured of finding safe haven after dark in African American areas of the river settlements.) Until the development of the railroad, and the demise of the steamboat, this pattern continued.

		While I suppose blues purists will never quite been sold on the eclectic approach Taj brings to the blues these early records are filled with moving, intelligent music and are a lot of fun to listen to.
		Blues is a particularly important snapshot of Spann at the peak of his powers playing solo piano which I believe is the first time he's been caught without a backing band.
		Hawkins has long been a footnote in blues history as the man who composed "The Thrill Is Gone" but this collection proves that was a brilliant bluesman in his own right and should do much to enhance his reputation to a larger audience.

	Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Homer Simpson said "play the blues is it will make you happy." And I must say that there are very few genres that make me smile by being so miserable.
		I'm not sure what the song is about and the title seems odd to me. However rest-assured it is the kind of music which defines the blues.
		Repetition is usually a problem, but in the case of this album, the more you hear the same ideas the more you grow to love them.

		I was fortunate enough to become a DJ at WUTS-FM, Sewanee TN in '86 and by playing the blues once a week I learned alot from liner notes and borrowing LPs from the studio.
		I thought, LSU is centrally located between the Delta, East Texas and New Orleans and Baton Rouge has it's own blues history; Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo, two of my favorites, are all from the Baton Rouge area as well as the Neal Family and The Thomas Family.
		I started going to what I think was the greatest blues fest (it's gotten really big so it's not as fun as it used to be) but that is the King Biscuit Fest in Helena, AR.

		But it's got quite a blues heritage, going back almost 100 years, to when W. Handy heard a scruffy band playing here while his orchestra was on break.
		But in a sense it's where the blues was born, since a lot of the greatest figures were discovered by H. Speir, a Jackson furniture-store owner who would audition and record them right in his shop in the 1920s.
		One group would be people who own dozens of blues records, belong to a local blues society, maybe even play a little blues on the piano, the guitar, or the harmonica.

		However, one man, Robert Johnson, is generally recognized as the father of modern blues.
		Sometimes his method was to set up opposite another blues player on the corner and try to steal his audience.

	Telarc International:
		An almost mythic figure in the history of the blues, Robert Johnson was born on May 8, 1911 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
		The legendary Eddie "Son" House taught Johnson the basics of blues guitar and encouraged him to take his music seriously, and to become a professional musician.
		When, in less than a year, Johnson had somehow developed into a supremely talented guitarist, the surprising story grew up that he owed his new powers to something more than constant practice.

		Johnson's guitar takes on a fullness never heard on previous reissues, and except for a nagging hiss in spots on "Terraplane Blues" (the equalization on this disc is extreme to even sport some minute turntable rumble in the low end), this really brings his music alive.
		Robert Johnson wasn't just King of the Delta blues; he was one of its founding fathers, and these re-mastered tunes are as timeless and important today as they were all those years ago.
		The songs that passed into the blues canon, to be covered by countless guitarists over the years, are here: "Crossroad Blues," "Preaching Blues," "Come On In My Kitchen," "Walking Blues," and more.

		The music on this collection puts to rest the idea that the blues is dreary and depressing...these songs are infused with a sense of joy...Green seems to be discovering these songs for the first time, his playing is stronger and his singing more relaxed than on any other Splinter Group release.
		In short this is one of the finest blues albums of the last ten years.
		This CD is a tribute to the original blues master, Robert Johnson.

		Warming by the Devil's Fire was a semi-autobiographical, semi-fictional story film which sought to portray the impact the blues might have on two generations of men in the Deep South.
		As I said, his guitar playing is wonderful, and his own compositions take blues tradition and stretch it, or bend it, into a modern format.

	Album - Me And Mr. Johnson
		MY only request is that it were more guitar heavy, not to say that that was a flaw on Clapton's part, but rather a respectful approach to a tribute album to a great legend, so you can't really nix Clapton for upholding the "Unwritten Laws of Tribute" so to speak.
		Johnson was the main influence on groundbreaking Delta blues artists like Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson, as well as Clapton and any blues that has existed since the 1930's harkens back to Johnson's moaning, groaning and wailing as well as his phrasing and guitar-playing.
		But still it has to be said: instead of being the expected blues feast combining the masterdom of two of my biggest musical heroes, "Me and Mr Johnson" is just a unemotional run-through of Robert Johnson's legendary songs.

		During the next year, Johnson traveled to such places as St. Louis, Memphis, and back home to the Delta.
		It was soon after Johnson's death, but before the news was wide-spread, that John Hammond began looking for Johnson to perform at Carnegie Hall in a "From Spirituals to Swing" concert.

		This is the first of two volumes recorded as a tribute to British Blues and in particular to Cyril Davies, who founded the sound with Alexis Korner.
		Many of today's biggest stars got their start playing in Cyril and Alexis' band Blues Inc. including Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, Jimmy Page, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Charlie Watts.
		There are two "bonus tracks" on the CD, set in the 'negative space' before the first track; the first is an extremely rare home recording made by Cyril Davies in 1954, followed by a short oral introduction to British Blues by Pete Brown.
