Living Blues Magazine Living Blues #293 Retour à l'édition précédente

Living Blues #293 (November/December 2024) features fife and drum artist Sharde Thomas-Mallory. Sharde is the granddaughter of legendary fife master Otha Turner. Under his tutelage since childhood, she now carries the legacy of this fascinating musical style. The son of songwriter Ferdinand “Fats” Washington, Steve Washington has evolved into a powerful performer and songwriter in his own right. The legacy of Robert Johnson has been clouded in myth and falsehoods from the beginning. Johnson scholar Bruce Conforth tackles the mythology and separates truth from fiction. This issue’s Let It Roll focusses on Texan Blind Lemon Jefferson. Jefferson was one of the most popular blues artists of the 1920s. His idiosyncratic guitar style and booming voice influenced generations of blues players, and his March 1927 session for OKeh yielded some of his biggest hits.
All of this plus LB Talks To Mitch Woods, the latest in Blues News, and over 50 record. Book, and film reviews.
