Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen: Live in Dallas; VARIOUS ARTISTS


This epic gathering of blues legends finds David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Robert 
Lockwood Jr., Henry James Townsend and Pinetop Perkins having a hell of a night 
for a quartet with an average age of 91. They're featured here on 18 tunes 
taped in 2004 in Dallas, ranging from the elemental country blues of Muddy 
Waters' "Country Boy," performed by Edwards, to an uptempo arrangement of 
"Hangin' On," complete with a horn section, featuring Lockwood on vocals. Along 
the way, Perkins knocks down a very hip cover of "Kansas City" and then tears 
it up again on "Got My Mojo Working." Henry James Townsend works his way 
through a low-down blues shuffle on "If You Don't Want Me," and the album 
concludes with Lockwood's wonderful cover of "See See Rider Blues." —Philip Van
