Free Music Review: Mr. Scrapper's best post-war performance
Hit: 3 Stars
Francis "Scrapper" Blackwell was not only one of the legendary pre-war virtouosos - who, as Leroy Carr's guitarist, essentially defined what is now called "urban blues" - but a capable singer-songwriter, too. In this album he essentialy re-visited some of his pre-war material (e.g. "Penal Farm Blues", his first 78rpm single) and managed to create an album which, I think, should be included in every collection that prouds to have gone deep into the blues.
Although age had by then left visible signs on Blackwell's voice, he is at least moving singing "Goin' Where The Monon Crosses The Yellow Dog", and also in moments like "Little Boy Blue" or "Shady Lane". But, although these are good reasons to buy this album themselves, the most stunning performance comes when he covers "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out". Blackwell sings this song in such a way that only a person who has lived situations exactly as those mentioned in the lyrics could have, managing to overshadow in emotion even the impressive "Empress of the Blues" Bessie Smith, who had originally sung it during Depression time. Don't miss this out, is one of the 100 best blues songs ever recorded!
