Post Description

King Of The Country Blues album by Blind Lemon Jefferson was released on the Yazoo label. It's easy to throw around superlatives when discussing important artists. It is not overstatement, however, to say that Yazoo's KING OF THE COUNTRY BLUES is the definitive compilation of material by one of the most innovative and influential bluesmen in history. King Of The Country Blues music CDs Though other Blind Lemon Jefferson collections boast cleaned-up sound, the goods are here--23 tracks of vintage, brilliant performance. King Of The Country Blues songs Yazoo has kept the crackle of the original 78s, giving the impression of listening down through history on a ragged line along which Jefferson's plaintive voice and fleet-fingered guitar technique reach out from the 1920s. King Of The Country Blues album Included are Jefferson's finest moments--"Rabbit Foot Blues," with its baroque bass line and trill-like fills; the desperate, searing vocal of "Prison Cell Blues;" and the immortal "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" (complete with guitar-simulated church bells). Jefferson is a consummate artist as a guitarist, a singer, and a songwriter, and his music transcends the structure of the blues to engage the listener in the archetypal experience of being human.
