The Golden Gate Orchestra - Crazy Words, Crazy Tune
The Golden Gate Orchestra CDs These titles were recorded between 1925-1929 but the contrast with, say Clarence Williams music, is striking. This is the roaring twenties music for a white audience, high quality musicianship but dance band style. Evoking nostalgia and a world in black and white in all senses. Some of the songs themselves will be familiar eg. When The Red Red Robin..., The Charleston. Will appeal to Dance band, Jazz, and Nostalgia fans. Excellent sound restoration and specialist sleeve notes.

Tommy Johnson 1928 - 1929
Tommy Johnson CDs Charley Patton is often considered to be the father of the Mississippi Blues, and the young, ill-fated Robert Johnson epitomised as its most agonised exponent. But there is no doubt that the music of the blues singer and guitarist Tommy Johnson epitomised the Mississippi Blues at its most expressive and poetic.

Son House & The Great Delta Blues Singers 1928 - 1930
Son House CDs Have you ever put an album into a player and been shocked as a surge of intensity, both beautiful and at the same time disturbing hits you like nothing before? You’re mesmerised, finding it hard to believe that this is a man, relying on little more than his relentless, pounding rhythmic guitar playing and his own dark, rich, voice. These are the first few seconds of Son House’s My Black Mama Part 1 recorded for Paramount in 1930 and just a hint to what is to come. This album is not just an album of singers. It is a snapshot of some finest bluesmen to have recorded. This is the blues un-distilled. Raw, hard hitting, being exorcised and torn like a demon from man’s tormented soul.

Charley Patton Vol 3 1929 - 1934
Charley Patton CDs Charlie Patton is considered, with some justification, to be the archetypal, Mississippi Delta blues singer / guitarist. His guitar playing, including his bottleneck slide guitar technique, coupled with his gritty vocal deliver created a mixture of some of the most primitive yet sublime recordings to be made in the “pre-war blues” era. Many of his recorded performances are so powerful as to be unsurpassed within the genre. Truly, Charley Patton was a “man amongst men”, one of many blues singers. At the same time he had an overpowering presence that embodied the very essence of the Mississippi blues.
