Re: The Boogie

["hazcon" <hazcon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I love Boogie: as in Hookers Booogie chillun so i'll be trying to get hold
of any examples quoted.
Someone who does a nice line in, to my ears anyway,one or two chord
drones/boogies is R L Burnside. Junior Kimbraugh (sp) also has that feel in
a lot of his stuff.
I think that maybe the birth of the guitar based boogie took place in those
Mississipi hill country juke joints.
After all it is a great 'saturday' night music
Harp content?Well unfortunately the above two never seem to have any
harmonica on their records,but, Alan Wilson really does a great job on the
'Hooker n' Heat' album.
