This review is from: Roots of the Blues (Audio CD)
The first song combines an American field holler with a Senegaleze field song - showing remarkable similiraties. This more or less sums up the contents of this CD - the roots of the blues are in Africa.
Song 6 is in the rarely recorded Fife and Drum tradition - a Mississippi tradition that is purely African. Song 7 is another Fife piece - this time with accompanying vocal hollers, very similar to the style associated with Sonny Terry.
The recordings by the Pratcher brothers are great - this kind of southern black dance music is just so joyful !
Mississippi Fred Mcdowell contributes some of his best songs here, rhythmically attractive as always.
The prisoner songs and the Church pieces add up to make this a valuable part of any blues / folk collection.
