|. __________________ .|
| Arhoolie reissued two of Big Joe Williams' seminal rediscovery |
| albums on one disc in 1990. The first, 1960's Tough Times, ranks |
| among his best; the second, 1969's Thinking of What They Did, isn't |
| as strong, but the two albums provide an excellent introduction to |
| this Delta bluesman. |
| |
| For some reason, Big Joe Williams wasn't taken quite as seriously by |
| blues buffs in the '60s as he should have been. I think it was |
| probably because, unlike Son House and Skip James who had been long |
| -lost and found again, or Charley Patton and Robert Johnson who were |
| seriously enigmatic stiffs, Big Joe had kept right on being there, a |
| working musician. Like Fred McDowell, he was ever so slightly taken |
| for granted for being mainly present on modern recordings. Foolish |
| really, because also like McDowell (who similarly has another mind- |
| bogglingly wonderful one of these "Over 60 Minutes Of Classic Blues" |
| Arhoolie CDs to himself) he was just dynamite. |
| |
| Big Joe played a 9-string guitar which he pounded, slapped and drove |
| like a demented downhill slalom through a thicket of seminal Delta |
| blues, singing in a gutsy, raw, emotion-exhausting voice. Many of |
| his songs were loosely constructed around the beaten chassis of a |
| familiar Mississippi tune or riff, but in his hands they were |
| totally personal, often topical masterpieces. And in spite of a |
| shoe-string budget for Arhoolie founder Chris Strachwitz when he |
| recorded the bulk of these tracks back in 1960, the re-mastered CD |
| sound just jumps out of the speakers and tears chunks off you with |
| its teeth. If I had to pick a CD to try and hook a newcomer to |
| country blues, this would surely be one of the candidates. |
