Finiti i meriti di acquisizione, ricerca, masterizzazione, post-produzione, pubblicazione e diffusione della Casa inglese, cominciano quelli propri di una figura unica come Tramonto Solitario, dei suoi incredibili accompagnatori, e dell&#8217;uomo che permise vita perenne a tutto questo: J.D. Miller. Nessun affare economico oggi potrebbe procedere così... <a

Questo esemplare verso errante del blues è rimasto per sempre legato a Lightnin&#8217; Slim. Fu uno dei primi che cantò nel microfono dello studio di J.D. Miller (visibile in copertina) alla sua prima sessione di registrazione nel 1954. Inoltre, Bad Luck gli portò fortuna: fu il suo primo disco in assoluto e definì non solo il futuro del bluesman, che in quello studio suonò ancora per 12 anni ed ebbe pubblicate... <a

Riprendo la vicenda di Leslie Johnson, in arte Lazy Lester, con queste sue parole retrospettive riferentesi al 1966 quando, stanco dello show business, lasciò il mondo della musica per ritirarsi a vita privata. Intorno al 1969 si trasferì a Chicago, dove il bluesman di Detroit Johnny &#8216;Yard Dog&#8217; Jones ha ricordato d&#8217;averlo visto suonare l&#8217;armonica nel parcheggio di un negozio di liquori, nel south-side. Di certo non un luogo... <a

Il bus arrivò e andò, ma di Lester nessuna traccia. Mentre chiedevo informazioni presso lo sportello, un passeggero che era appena uscito dallo stesso bus mi sentì e disse che a bordo c&#8217;era un ragazzo nero, alto e magro, che sembrava addormentato. Doveva essere lui! La fermata successiva era Flint, circa una cinquantina di... <a

Partito nell&#8217;aprile 1970 in Congo Square con poche centinaia di spettatori, il New Orleans Jazz Festival evidentemente mostrò qualcosa di cui la città aveva bisogno se già dopo due anni ebbe l&#8217;esigenza di trasferirsi in un luogo più grande, il Fair Grounds Race Course, uno dei più antichi ippodromi... <a

Se l&#8217;altro focalizza le prime incisioni, qui sono racchiuse le ultime, e insieme sono rappresentativi al meglio dell&#8217;inizio e della fine della storia discografica di Longhair. Una storia divisa in due fasi, la prima dal 1949 al 1959, e sporadicamente fino al 1964, e la seconda dal 1971 all&#8217;uscita di questo disco, 1980.
