Free Music Notes for The Complete Bukka White
Free Music Review: Powerful blues!
Hit: 5 Stars
What did Bukka White have on his mind when he recorded this session ? A lot. But he managed to put it down into 12 tracks! (plus the first 2 from another session).
This was my first introduction to Bukka White, and also probably my first introduction to classic Blues. It all began with getting Iggy Pop's Nude and Rude, wherein he mentioned listening to Bukka White in his hotel room when he was approached with his 'best of' project. 'Bukka' just got stuck on me somehow and as destiny would have had it, I found this album dumped in the movie section of a store.
It would be another week before I listened to it. At first it sounded all weird, too profound and maybe a bit too earthy. But as I reached to 'Strange Place Blues' I could feel I'm officially hooked. This song had something too personal about it, it just made too much sense to me.... something felt different. Anothe song I'd talk about is 'Sleepy Man Blues' , which is such a powerful song, because it is so simple, it gets right into your head and refuses to leave! And I will omit saying anything about Fixin' to Die, because a lot has been written and said about it, my contribution wouldnt take away or give anything to it.
This album, is one of the most compelling sessions ever recorded. It cant be made to look cheap by clinically comparing it with other recordings of Bukka or any other bluesman.
If you have a knack for good music, then this album would do you good.
The Complete Bukka White Poster
Using the simplest melodies as his canvas, Delta bluesman Bukka White painted vivid pictures of his own life in the rural South, punctuating his words with a highly percussive steel-guitar attack. Among his subjects: trains, booze, sex, prison, and death. After shooting an old Mississippi rival during a roadside showdown, White had allegedly jumped bail to record his first two songs in 1937. The bawdy "Shake 'Em On Down" was a hit, but White spent two years in prison for his indiscretion. When White returned to Chicago in 1940 to record again, producer Lester Melrose rejected his roster of cover tunes, giving him two days to come up with his own material. Under the gun, White created the 10 autobiographical gems that round out this collection. --Marc GreilsamerBlues Music CDs
