The Blues of Deep South

John Lee Hooker (1917-2001)

John Lee Hooker was born August 22, 1917 County of Cohaoma, near Clarksdale, Mississippi. Eleventh child of sharecroppers (William Hooker, also a Baptist preacher, and Minnie Ramsey) plantation of the famous belt of cotton in the southern United States, the numerous children of the couple were allowed to listen only to religious songs. Little John, it was early influenced by the music of the spirituals he heard in the celebrations in the churches.

In 1921 his parents divorced and the next year John, with his mother remarried to William Moore, moved to Clarksdale. The new stepfather was a blues singer who gave him a guitar for the first training base. Hooker, later called Moore's guitar style as very personal and original, become major musical influences. Will Moore occasionally played with Charley Patton when it was playing near Clarksdale. Moore grew up in Louisiana and his style was different from that prevailing in the Delta: her songs were composed by a single, repetitive, hypnotic arrangement that went on stubbornly. Hooker has made this his way of playing the guitar, making it a sign of his unmistakable style. Blind Lemon Jefferson and Blind Blacke often went to Moore's house to play: they were deeply impressive performances for the little that Hooker began to make blues a matter of life.

John followed in the footsteps of his stepfather and began playing in various festivals of his country, until, after spending a decade in Cincinnati singing in various gospel choirs in 1943, driven by business needs, he emigrated to Michigan in the city of Detroit, where, working in an automobile factory, he took up residence 1969. He felt right at local gatherings of blues Hastings Street, the heart of black music and entertainment on the east side of Detroit. It was in this context that gave body to his vocation as a blues musician, with his unmistakable singing rural, raw and elegant at the same time, clocked by an inimitable boogie-vocal riff.

In 1948, Hooker's recording career began: the single Boogie Chillen, recorded in the recording studio near Wayne State University. Though he was illiterate, was a rather prolific lyricist: alongside the traditional topics of blues lyrics, built on recurring themes, he developed some of its production in an original and innovative, drawing on the tradition but at the same time proposing new texts.

The '60s were the final consecration at the white audience: the great glory was bestowed by the cover attached by several rock bands on the British scene, the result of his touring in 1963 in Great Britain.

1989 was the year the album The Healer, which joined with a number of musicians, including Keith Richards and Carlos Santana. The album won a prize Grammy award. The same period some recordings with Van Morrison (Never Get Out of These Blues Alive, The Healing Game, I Cover the Waterfront) and live appearances by the same artist, published live album A Night in San Francisco

In 2001, the disease, just before the European tour will soon after the death at the age of 83.

Robert Johnson (1911-1938)

Robert Johnson is considered one of the most important bluesmen and significant in the history of the Blues.

It is said that at that time Johnson has taken lessons from Ike Zinneman and Son House, other legends of blues.

It seems certain that he was killed by a cuckolded husband, given the fact that Johnson liked to seduce women involved, but it is not certain how this happened. Some sources attest that Johnson had drunk from a bottle that was left unattended, where the cuckolded husband had poured the poison, but other sources speak of a clash in fire, others of a fight with a knife. But none of these versions have never been confirmed.

Despite the musician has played for most of his life, very few works have also been affected.

The Blues acrobat

T-Bone Walker (1910-1975)

Aaron Thibeaux Walker or T-Bone Walker è nato in Linden, Texas nel 1910 da genitori afroamericani and Native American (Cherokee). If you ask 10
bluesmen who were their main sources of inspiration for sure at least 8 of them will respond by citing the name of this great musician Texas.

T-Bone Walker was the undisputed king of the blues for all the '40s, his records were selling thousands of copies and he also simultaneously accounted for 12 record labels.
was the most popular and influential guitarist of the American music of the time. T-Bone Walker was credited with revolutionizing the world forever by imposing the blues in the mid-30's electric guitar as a crucial tool. He also managed wisely elements enter into the world of jazz and swing blues (even here it is was the first to do so) by making alongside big bands, changing forever the way we think these kinds of music. Until then, in fact, the blues was characterized by the use of acoustic guitar accompanied alternately or simultaneously, the plane and a few primitive tools, such as the "washboard".

If this still is not enough to know that his "Call it Stormy Monday" is one of the most famous blues songs ever, virtually no blues musician who has not played at least once in concert or on disc. This popular song has also brought another great musical innovation: for the first time a song was "open" an introduction to guitar.

Most scholars of music history with their claims that this song opens the era of modern blues. For the revolutionary impact that his music had on the whole environment is comparable only to that which was about 25 years after Jimi Hendrix (who has always said T-Bone as one of his influences). But the wave of novelty T-Bone Walker took the music world does not stop there, for he was a real tightrope in the live shows often playing the guitar behind his back or middle of the legs, then this thing was "copied "from the likes of Buddy Guy, the same Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Bukka White (1909-1977)

Booker T. Washington "Bukka" White, born November 12, 1909 near Houston, Mississippi, is the rude and bloodthirsty Delta Blues of the '30s.

Bukka White is part integral to the Blues, but not because he is the cousin of the famous BB King. Due to a premise that along with Charlie Patton and Robert Johnsson was the Delta Blues. Less guitar, voice and quite extraordinary, Bukka White had no doubt well-deserved acknowledgment, although he recovered in time, especially by critics, a certain prestige. In fact it was in the '30s that Bukka White began his recordings, giving in the great '37 'em on down Shake , "a classic of classics, then also made successful by Led Zeppelin.

In the early '40s, however, some accomplices years in prison, and the songs are not suited to the public (it was much sought after White, and wrote also the texts of social commitment, to emphasize the reality of prisons and the sufferings of people of color), had to stop playing. He found work in a lab, and stayed there for 20 years. In '63, during the rehabilitation process by whites of Europe and the Blues, John Fahey and Ed Denson showed up with a proposal by Bukka White: Restore old recordings, and belittling, by the practices of those years. Here Bukka White resumed his pieces and recorded them, perfected them and completed them.

Until '75 continues to affect, but when in '77, aged 71, died. However, remained with us 12 years of great and well recorded, with great songs such as "Parchman Farm Blues ", and a personal tribute to Charley Patton, his leadership in music, and the only source of inspiration for Bukka White.

The father of "Delta Blues

Charlie Patton (1891-1934)

Charlie Patton was a very special character you can imagine it now: just look at one of his, few photographs to understand this eccentric character has something unique. He was short, thin, with dark skin, blond hair and facial features of a native American. Charlie was in fact the fruit of the union of at least three different races.

Born near Edwards, Mississippi in 1891, Patton was the founder of the Delta Blues. This is not entirely true, but he certainly was a point of reference for all the bluesmen were born in that period and the first ever to affect a delta blues disc. The legacy that he left us this bizarre musician is of paramount importance. He was author of some of the most important blues ever and witness the birth of the genre's most influential among the various incarnations of the devil's music.

His style on the guitar, usually slide, it was raw and powerful, often feel the beat with the strength of his tool box in order to sustain the strong voice and expressive. It is said that his vocal power was such that during his show in the various plantations of the Delta, it was also heard for miles. Those who knew him, and had the good fortune to see him play live, said Charlie was a real guitar hero: in his performances was in fact used to play the guitar behind his head or holding it between his legs, threw the air in order to take it on the fly, running and jumping was tightrope walker numbers. In short, Charlie Patton was a pioneer, an early, if not the very first, to understand that the guitar was not just a mere extension of the accompanying voice-but half the endless artistic possibilities.

His songs tell us about the blues still in their infancy, many debtors of African music, with lyrics that now would smile, but which are fundamental to understanding the evolution of the music of the devil. The verses were spent without a sense strand, the allegories and metaphors made from the absolute master.

Charlie Patton during his life, long enough for the average age rose to more than 50 years, has recorded several records on 78 rpm is not limited only to the blues but also touching on gospel and folk.

The origins of modern music

Here begins our journey into Blues. The origins of Blues
in the tribal music of African slaves who were deported to the United States at the end of 800.
The reasons for these deportations were economic in nature, the United States needed cheap labor to work in cotton plantations in the southern states of the country, particularly those around the Mississippi River (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi).
