[Harp-L] the new Filisko & Noden Live CD

[Peter and Connie Ruth <conruth@xxxxxxxxx>]

The new Filisko & Noden Live CD is outstanding!

For years Joe Filisko has been diligently studying the techniques of  
the blues harmonica players who recorded back in the 1920s, 1930s and  
1940s such as Gwen Foster, Walter “Red” Parham, Johnny Woods, Daddy  
Stovepipe, Will Shade, John Lee “Sonny Boy” Williamson, and Sonny  
Terry.  And Joe didn’t just learn a few licks, he mastered these  
styles.  I think of him as a master linguist who doesn’t just know a  
few phrases in several foreign languages but has become completely  
fluent in multiple languages.  Thank you Joe, for preserving so many  
of these all-but-lost harmonica techniques.

And thanks to Joe’s partner, Eric Noden, who is carrying on the  
sounds of the old blues guitar playing masters.

I highly recommend this CD.  Put it on, sit back, and enjoy some  
beautifully recorded wonderful old-time music free from the  
omnipresent hiss of the old 78 rpm records.
