Bob Pearce - Members Only (De Amer)

Beetje rondstruinend in het het archief kom je soms verrassend leuke opnames tegen.Een mooie aanleiding het item "De Amer presenteert.."weer eens op te pikken. Deze keer met Bob Pearce,een mij onbekende bluesman uit de omgeving van Southampton.Mooi nummer ,zeker door de inbreng van een ook onbekende tweede gitarist(wie?)

                  Bob Pearce - Members Only

Ik had al veel mooie verhalen gehoord over Cafe de Amer Een bruin cafe in Amen (Drenthe) waar prachtige concerten werden gegeven.Het is vanuit Zeeland wat ver rijden anders was ik er vast wel eens op bezoek geweest.Het was dan ook een grote verrassing dat mijn muzikale vriend Gerrit uit het hoge noorden mij een DVD doorstuurde met hoogtepunten van diverse concerten die daar gegeven zijn.Het zijn prachtige opnames en het lijkt me leuk om regelmatig er wat van te publiceren.

"Blind Willie McTell" is a song by Bob Dylan, titled after the blues singer Blind Willie McTell. It was recorded in 1983 but left off Dylan's album Infidels and officially released in 1991 on the The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991. The melody is loosely based on "St. James Infirmary Blues". For the song, Dylan, seated at the piano and accompanied by Mark Knopfler on the twelve-string acoustic guitar, sings a series of plaintive verses depicting allegorical scenes which reflect on the history of American music and slavery. Each verse ends with the same refrain: "Nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell".(WikiPedia)

 Blind Willie McTell (born William Samuel McTier; May 5, 1898 – August 19, 1959) was a Piedmont and ragtime blues singer and guitarist. He played with a fluid, syncopated fingerstyle guitar technique, common among many exponents of Piedmont blues, although, unlike his contemporaries, he came to use twelve-string guitars exclusively. McTell was also an adept slide guitarist, unusual among ragtime bluesmen. His vocal style, a smooth and often laid-back tenor, differed greatly from many of the harsher voice types employed by Delta bluesmen, such as Charley Patton. McTell embodied a variety of musical styles, including blues, ragtime, religious music and hokum.(Wikipedia)
