I was encouraged by threads from other places to lookup for Kentucky Bluesman. And here is a list:
Great Bluesman indeed but too few to try to characterize what the Kentucky Blues might sound like.
Gibson and Weaver both came from Louisville Kentucky are very sophisticated and were among the best on their game, Weaver on slide/bottleneck and Gibson on strict. Teddy Darby was a groundbreaking guy who was perhaps a bit more rural naive in his attitude, but as great, finally he was into the urban scene playing urban Blues, but his solo sides shows his rural approach. Gaither was between the sophisticated Blues guitar of Gibson and the rural one of Darby, and had a happy drive that didn;t exist in the others that helped him become one of the most interesting guitar-piano duos of the 1930.
What do you think? Are there any more interesting Bluesman from Kentucky?
- Sylvester Weaver
- Clifford Gibson
- Blind Teddy Darby
- Bill Gaither
