Re: [Harp-L] Down Home Harp



Hi

If this is the one on Testament 6011, there's much of value on there, but it may not be for everyone. If your collection is fairly small, it's not a "must have". That being said: Little Walter completists will find two cuts from a 1964 U of Chicago concert, Walter Horton fans will find two cuts, a couple of Billy Boy Arnold takes on SB1, and a whole lot of players on there that were pretty much previously unheard - some showing influence from SB1 and a couple with a more rural sound.
95 % of these Pete Welding recordings from 1961-67 hadn't found a home on Testament or any other album release. I got it for the Little Walter and just to hear what these other guys sounded like. The "Train sounds" are pretty minimal, though there's a good pre-war/rural style "medley" (three cuts spliced together) from John Lee Henley.


Cheers,
