Tommy Johnson - Canned Heat (1928-1929) (2000) EAC Rip | FLAC + Log + Cue | Scans | 185 MB | 5% recovery Label: Document Records DOCD 5001 | Genre: Blues | Split Tracks This is not my rip. I want to thank the original (unknown) ripper and uploader Next to Son House and Charley Patton, no one was more important to the development of pre-Robert Johnson Delta blues than Tommy Johnson. Armed with a powerful voice that could go from a growl to an eerie falsetto range and a guitar style that had all of the early figures and licks of the Delta style clearly delineated, Johnson only recorded for two years -- from 1928 to 1930 -- but left behind a body of work that's hard to ignore. An essential Tommy Johnson collection, Document's Complete Recorded Works (1928-1929) features 17 songs from the Delta blues pioneer, including two alternative takes and a pair of previously unissued songs known respectively as "Morning Prayer Blues" and "Boogaloosa Blues." Culled from the great Delta musician's recording sessions in Memphis and Grafton, WI, from February 1928 to December 1929, this collection shines a light on all of Johnson's known output during his most active recording years. Tracks: 01 - Cool Drink Of Water Blues 02 - Big Road Blues 03 - Bye-Bye Blues 04 - Maggie Campbell 05 - Canned Heat Blues 06 - Lonesome Home Blues (Take 1) 07 - Lonesome Home Blues (Take 2) 08 - Big Fat Mama Blues 09 - I Wonder To Myself 10 - Lonesome Home Blues 11 - Slidin' Delta 12 - Untitled Song - Take 1 (Morning Prayer Blues) 13 - Untitled Song - Take 2 (Boogaloosa Woman) 14 - Black Mare Blues (Take 1) 15 - Black Mare Blues (Take 2) 16 - Ridin' Horse 17 - Alcohol And Jake Blues

Pinetop Perkins, the blues pianist with immense talent, has died at the age of 97 on Monday March 21 2011. Perkins’ death was confirmed by his agent, Hugh Southard, who said the musician lost his life due to cardiac arrest at his home in Austin, Texas. His love for work was infinite and at this age he was active as a young horse while he registered his name as the oldest Grammy winner in February for Best Traditional Blues Album for “Joined at the Hip: Pinetop Perkins & Willie “Big Eyes†Smith.†Perkins became the part of Muddy Waters band in 1969 and enjoyed great success with it.
In 1980 I went to a local blues bar to see Mike & the Tornadoes featuring "Pinetop" Perkins.
On the first set Pinetop was not playing and I must say that I was not impressed with Mike & his group.
Pinetop came out & started playing on the second set.
There was a transformation. Everyone in the group feed off Pinetop and took it up a notch. It was excellent.
Pinetop had the ability to bring out the best in other musicians.
Oh yeah and during breaks he did like to talk it up with those pretty women.
