His picking on a variety of guitars ~ 12 string, Dobro, 6 string ~ is awesome!! He always gives a passionate display of virtuoso playing, whether it is the ragtime styles of Blind Blake or Willie McTell, the powerful driving rhythms of Huddie Ledbetter or the delicate slide of Mississippi John Hurt he just oozes authenticity. His rich voice perfectly compliments his playing. It is rare to get a combination of superb guitar, stunning vocals & natural swing but with Ben Andrews you get just that Ben also provides music scores for film, TV & radio. He has appeared at major festivals throughout the USA & Europe & has performed with many of the legends of blues including: - Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Brownie McGhee, John Hammond Jnr. and Robert Lockwood Jnr." From: www.bluefrontbluesroom.org/Artist%20biogs% I guess that in the early 1970s there was no Blind Willie McTell estate for the Allman Brothers to have payed copyrights to anyway...somebody was singin' the blues. This song swung hard; bouncing along, playing the drums with the brushsticks was a ball. If you like this, check out Ben Andrews Blue Rider Trio doing some Robert Johnson / Kokomo Arnold, Mississippi John Hurt, Brownie McGhee, Howlin' Wolf , Thomas A. Dorsey, Rev. Gary Davis, etc. If you like any of the harmonica or greats of country / folk blues artists, whether Mississippi Delta , Ragtime or Piedmont fingerstyle acoustic guitar: Henry "Mule" Townsend, Dr. Ross, Ramblin' Thomas, Sam Chatmon , Tampa Red, Scrapper Blackwell, Willie Doss, Doc Reese, Memphis Minnie, Tampa Red, Earl Hooker, Etta Baker, Elizabeth Cotten, Jesse Fuller, Son House. If you like any of the country folk blues artists, whether Mississippi delta , or just fingerstyle acoustic guitar ... please give this a listen: Mr. McTell´s music encompasses ¨Eastern Seaboard/Piedmont, with lighter, bouncier rhythms and a ragtime influence; and Deep South, with its greater emphasis on intense rhythms and short, repeated music phrases¨ A little history of the Virginia, Piedmont style: "In the mid-1920s, a form of guitar music evolved from African-American culture that echoed the soul and personality of African-American life. The style evolved from "rags," played with banjos, fiddles and percussion. As the guitar replaced the banjo as the lead instrument and songs were picked from the strings rather than strummed, an energetic voice emerged that began to sweep through the Southeast, and it was called Carolina blues, or Piedmont blues. Piedmont blues differed from the tradition blues that lulled a sad, longing story and picked up the pace, peppy enough for people to dance to it. The sound, because it was played with guitar and After World War II, the electric guitar began to replace the acoustic guitar, and the blues picked up an influence from the 1950 rock 'n roll." Alan Lomax , George Higgs and more at http://www.unctv.org/webcast/music/fw_piedmont_blues.html A world of thanks to a MAJOR inspiration of mine...David "Panama" Francis. I think Phish/Greatful Dead, Taj Mahal and Keb Mo listener might give this clip a listen. Cheers to THE 100 CLUB, London. Thanks to Thomson, Georgia for the Annual Blind Willie McTell Blues Festival and Bob Dylan, who memorialized him in a song.

See the review at: www.bluefrontbluesroom.org/Artist%20biogs% This clip of one of the Rides ragtime numbers jumps! Ben's driving bass lines drives it. Dig all the stop time breaks in this arrangement = FUN! Check out Hugh's rhythm, he's swingin' his butt off. You can tell that his background, playing clarinet as his first instrument, counts for so much of that bouncin' swing'n rhythm . In learning to play the harmonica, he'd transcribed a number of the instrument masters' solos ...that's why he's got ears like deers. Lightnin' Hopkins mighta' liked this one,,, or even players of jazz drums.

Bob Dylan - Blind Willie McTell (ACOUSTIC & ELECTRIC) Seen the arrow on the doorpost Saying, "This land is condemned All the way from New Orleans To Jerusalem." I traveled through East Texas Where many martyrs fell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, I heard the hoot owl singing As they were taking down the tents The stars above the barren trees Were his only audience Them charcoal gypsy maidens Can strut their feathers well But nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell See them big plantations burning Hear the cracking of the whips Smell that sweet magnolia blooming (And) see the ghosts of slavery ships I can hear them tribes a-moaning (I can) hear the undertaker's bell (Yeah), nobody can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell There's a woman by the river With some fine young handsome man He's dressed up like a squire Bootlegged whiskey in his hand There's a chain gang on the highway I can hear them rebels yell And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Well, God is in heaven And we all want what's his But power and greed and corruptible seed Seem to be all that there is I'm gazing out the window Of the St. James Hotel And I know no one can sing the blues Like Blind Willie McTell Copyright © 1983 Special Rider Music Infidels outtakes Tags: Bob Dylan Infidels 1983 outtakes acoustic and electric versions |

Roots of Blues -- Blind Willie McTell „ It's Your Time To Wor Aufnahme: New York, September 14, 1933 Blind Willie McTell (g)(vcl) Curley Weaver (g)(vcl) William Samuel McTell, better known as Blind Willie McTell (May 5, 1898 (sometimes reported as 1901) -- August 19, 1959), was an influential American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He was a twelve-string finger picking Piedmont blues guitarist, and recorded 149 songs between 1927 and 1956. Born William Samuel McTier in Thomson, Georgia, blind in one eye, McTell had lost his remaining vision by late childhood, but became an adept reader of Braille. He showed an inherent proficiency in music from an early age and learned to play the six-string guitar as soon as he could. His father left the family when McTell was still young, so when his mother died in the 1920s, he left his hometown and became a wandering busker. He began his recording career in 1927 for Victor Records in Atlanta[1]. In the years before World War II, he traveled and performed widely, recording for a number of labels under a different name for each one, including Blind Willie McTell (Victor and Decca), Blind Sammie (Columbia), Georgia Bill (Okeh), Hot Shot Willie (Victor), Blind Willie (Vocalion), Red Hot Willie Glaze (Bluebird), Barrelhouse Sammie (Atlantic) and Pig & Whistle Red (Regal). His style was singular: a form of country blues, bridging the gap between the raw blues of the early part of the 20th Century and the more refined East Coast "Piedmont" sound. He took on the less common and more unwieldy 12-string guitar because of its volume. The style is well documented on John Lomax's 1940 recordings of McTell for the Library of Congress, for which McTell earned ten dollars[2]. In 1934, he married Ruthy Kate Williams[3] (now better known as Kate McTell).[4] She accompanied him on stage and on several recordings, before becoming a nurse in 1939. Most of their marriage from 1942 until his death was spent apart, with her living in Fort Gordon near Augusta, and him working around Atlanta. Post-war, he recorded for Atlantic Records and Regal Records in 1949, but these recordings met with less commercial success than his previous works. He continued to perform around Atlanta, but his career was cut short by ill health, predominantly diabetes and alcoholism. In 1956, an Atlanta record store manager, Edward Rhodes, discovered McTell playing in the street for quarters and enticed him into his store with a bottle of corn liquor, where he captured a few final performances on a tape recorder. These were released posthumously on Prestige/Bluesville Records as Blind Willie McTell's Last Session.[5] McTell died in Milledgeville, Georgia of a stroke in 1959.
