Post Description
Cut in a relaxed session held on August 6th, 1976, at his private home in Hollandale, Mississippi.
Second volume of the Blues at Home series, the CD features one of the major blues rediscoveries of the 60s. Son of a fiddler ex-slave, Sam Chatmon belonged to a large family of Mississippi Delta musicians. His brother Bo Chatmon (aka Bo Carter) made numerous records in the 30s. The Chatmon brothers, and their associate Walter Vincent, founded before World War II the string band called The Mississippi Sheiks; playing for both white and black audiences, they acquired great popularity. Among the titles they recorded, 'Sitting on Top of the World' and 'Stop and Listen' became blues standards. Starting to play music at the early age of five, Sam developed a complex guitar technique, coupled with a highly expressive vocal style. His huge repertoire encompasses pre-blues influences, ragtime and popular songs, to spirited renditions of blues hits of the 50s and 60s, as well as his own original compositions.
