Le blues de Walter Trout: étape 2

Comme toutes les semaines, Walter Trout nous fait parvenir un petit message, accompagné de la bande son d'origine, concernant l'auteur de l'un de ses morceaux de son fabuleux album. Il m'est apparu évident de relayer une telle initiative. Vous retrouverez donc tous les dimanches sur ce blog, le message transmis par celui ,qui est aujourd'hui le seul représentant du blues authentique. Voici ce que Walter Trout écrit au sujet de Sunnyland Slim, auteur de "Be careful how you vote".

                                                                                                                                                               Frédéric.

"He was born in Mississippi and moved to Chicago to pursue his dream of making a living as a blues pianist. He played with Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Robert Lockwood, Jr., and Little Walter. 

His first recording as a singer was in 1946, and he continued performing until his death. In the later 60s, he played piano on the track, Turpentine Moan with my old band, Canned Heat. Canned Heat backed Slim on a record he released in 1968, which also featured Mick Taylor. 

Slim’s “Be Careful How You Vote” spoke to me immediately, and I feel that people on both sides of the political spectrum can relate to it. I consider it quite profound."

On sent bien ici l'influence d'Emore James. C'est tout bon.

Bon, je vote : Walter for président !
