Album Review
Guitarist/vocalist Etta Baker hadn't made any recordings or even been in a studio since 1956 before making the 20 numbers comprising this CD. But judging from the arresting vocals, prickly accompaniment, and commanding presence she displayed on each song, it seemed as if she had been cutting tracks daily. Baker moved from sassy and combative blues tunes like "Never Let Your Deal Go Down" and "But on the Other Hand Baby" to chilling numbers like "Police Dog Blues," novelty tunes, double-entendre cuts, folk pieces, and even country-flavored material. Singing and playing in vintage Piedmont style with a two- and three-finger technique, Etta Baker offers timeless, memorable performances.
Customer Reviews
The Mother of Piedmont Blues
Etta influenced countless contemporary musicians; Fahey took this style and made it his own now called American Primitive; smooth as silk, unadorned and sweet to the ear; for players, two finger Piedmont style humbles any guitarist; Lord have mercy, i am so happy iTunes lists this truly great, American artist.....
