I prefer EJ’s vocals but Green’s guitar playing was outstanding.

By far the best that England had to offer in the sixties

For emotive blues & spirituals I’ve always found the Alan Lomax’s field recordings quite spellbinding - It’s hard to imagine blues more blue than ‘Murderers home’ (Chain gang prison songs) - Taking a tape recorder and capturing songs before they became extinct was his business. If you like being transported by music the context and place these songs were captured is a potent piece of pie.

Btw, if anyone is interested in Howlin’ Wolf’s life story, this is one of the best biographies I have read

If you think you’ve had it rough, read this. His early years were just about as hard as it gets.

A bit of (early) Janis now
