2010, Sub Rosa
VINYL FORMAT. Subtitled: 18 Unsung Bluesmen: Rarities 1923-1929. Sub Rosa presents another volume in their "Fundamental" collection, devoted to rare and lost recordings from the '20 to the '60s. While artists such as Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bukka White, Sleepy John Estes, Skip James, etc. became legendary in their lifetime (due in part to their discovery by the 1960s British rock scene), the musicians highlighted here are the ones that didn't become major figures, either constructed by myth or defined by history. Artists include: Sylvester Weaver, Bo Weavil Jackson, Richard Rabbit Brown, Andrew Baxter, Willard Ramblin' Thomas, Luke Jordan, Buddy Boy Hawkins, Ishman Bracey, Arthur Petties, Rube Lacey, Tom Dickson, Freddie Spruell, Jesse Babyface Thomas, Willie Baker, Kid Bailey, Willie Blind Joe Reynolds, Henry Townsend, and Noah Lewis.
