Matchbox Bluesmaster Series: Country Blues & Harmonica Kings 1927-31 - Volume 3

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Volume 3 of the CD release of the iconic Matchbox Bluesmaster LP series from the 1980s with extensive notes from world authority on the blues, Paul Oliver. This third set of 6 CDs features the second volume of the music of Texas Alexander who was a prolific and popular singer. Volumes 3 and 4 will appear on later sets in the series. Female blues singers were all but absent on the first two sets and this is made good on the present set with an album of four outstanding Country Girls. For lovers of blues harmonica (harp in blues-speak) the set starts and ends with albums demonstrating the endless skills of these early players. One of the most outstanding guitarists of his day was Ramblin Thomas who accompanies himself on these exceptional performances. The remaining album is of the good time hokum music of Rufus and Ben Quillan which nicely balances the music of the other albums.

REZENSION
"The third box in this reissue series proves just as invigorating as its confreres…. has plentiful variety, from harmonica to solo guitar and vocal, vocal duets and good old ‘Country Girls’…. The late Paul Oliver’s notes were always a wonderful addition to this series telling the reader everything necessary and known about the musicians and their backgrounds and songs. There’s much more to come in this sequence and much to relish here." --Jonathan Woolf, Music Web International

"Putting this music into perspective are the masterful liner notes by respected blues historian Paul Oliver. They alone are worth the purchase….Saydisc say that they have in their vaults many more pre-Bluesmaster blues albums which may be issued on CD in due course. Let us hope so. The CD sets are available at a realistic price and the release of this important series for the first time on CD should appeal to serious blues collectors and also attract (hopefully) a new generation of early blues lovers." --Ian Lomax, Jazz Journal
