Big Bill Broonzy is my favorite blues singer – lucky for me he was quite the prolific artist.
This 3-disk collection was recorded in 1957, a year before his death. Big Bill is playing guitar and conducting an interview at the same time – questions are interspersed between songs. Big Bill provides honest answers, covering the backgrounds of other players, the meaning behind different songs, and what it takes to sing the blues.
As an avid blues fan, I love having this window into the experiences that went into this awesome music.
