A Dose of The Blues

-
'The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1969.' This is Volume three of a three part set on DVD.  Great black and white footage of various Blues musicians. Huge names in the history of The Blues playing on each others songs. Live recordings in small television studios during a European tour. I love the imagery that goes with each song. And each song is a treasure.

It seems that a different tune may stand out with each viewing. Today it was Hound Dog Taylor & Little Walter performing 'Wild About You.'

Other highlights …. Skip James performing 'All Night Long' and Koko Taylor singing 'Wang Dang Doodle.' 

There's no filler material on this set, just classic Acoustic (mostly) Blues. So if you have a couple hours …..
