I Do not Prefer No Blues (Audio CD)

Customer Review

When he year record for the first time went into the studio to record an album 81, he promised the executives at Big Legal measuring record a blues album when they bring out his Gospel Album.
The beginning of 2014 appeared "Sabougla Voices" a widely acclaimed album since he was 82nd
A year has passed and Leo Welch kept his promise. The Blues album was released, I Do not Prefer No Blues Blues is pure.
My respect for Leo Welch to bring 83 years an album of this class on the market, chapeau.
Leo Welch was born in 1932 in Sabougla / MS. Throughout his life he sang gospel with a dash of blues in the churches of the Hill Country. He is in the same breath as the folk musicians from the Hill Country known as there would be: RLBurnside, Junior Kimbrough and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
He plays the blues in its own unique style, a rough blues mixed with Gospel but with a lot of energy. His guitar is constantly distorted (fuzztone) as bass is often a double bass and the drums sometimes hear sounds like an old tin can. All this gives the Juke Joint Blues sounds here quite real.
Some titles Jimbo Mathus can be heard on guitar, Eric Carlton plays keyboards on bass Matt Patton, Sharde Thomas sings background and plays Fife (flute), Bronson Tew on drums and of course Leo Welch on guitar and vocals.
