VINYL THE ROUGH GUIDE TO BLUES LEGENDS: BARBEC [VINYL]

Popis - THE ROUGH GUIDE TO BLUES LEGENDS: BARBEC [VINYL]:
One of the unsung heroes of the Piedmont blues style, Robert Hicks, a.k.a. Barbecue Bob recorded over sixty sides for Columbia Records and became one of the best-selling artists on their 'race series', outsold only by Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters and Blind Willie Johnson. With his original and witty compositions he was one of the real pioneers of the Atlanta blues scene of the time, but his career was tragically ended by his death from pneumonia at the age of just 29. This LP undoubtedly contains some of the most engaging early blues that you are likely to hear!
