Freddie Fingers Lee - I Am A Nut (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick View2 levyä yhdellä cd:llä. Freddie Fingers Lee started out as a guitar player in the 50’s with different skiffle bands. After hearing Jerry Lee Lewis on the radio, he resolved to make the piano his instrument. With his band he moved to Hamburg. At that time Hamburg was the place to be – just remember The Beatles and all the big names of these days were passing through Hamburg. In the early 70’s in the UK a sort of a R’n’R revival came about and Freddie moved back to England. He was a sort of an English answer to Jerry Lee Lewis. All promoters wanted him to put him on the bill. Over the years, Freddie has built up an own stage act. He toured all over Europe and still dies. Freddie Fingers Lee has made many Radio and TV show like Jack Good’s ’Oh Boy’. When Bill Haley came to the UK, Freddie was the first to meet him personally. In 1995, Freddie Fingers Lee went on tour with Bill Haley’s band, The Comets, throughout Europe, including Belgium (which he visited a couple of times). Freddie Fingers Lee is raw, flamboyant, exciting, colourful, brash and humorous. He writes his own songs with own humour and style. On his live gigs, he wears a cowboy hat and a eyepatch (he has only one eye). That’s why they call him ’The one-eyed boogie boy’. Attacking the piano with his feet and other parts of the body, using a paintroller, standing on his head while playing the 88’s, Freddie Fingers Lee is a stage act ’no-one could follow’.

Lightning Hopkins - Blues In My Bottle (Käytetty LP/12)
€20,00Quick ViewRecorded in 1961 for Prestige, a label best known for jazz,BLUES IN MY BOTTLE presents Sam Lightnin'” Hopkins in a strictly solo setting. Armed with only his plaintive vocals and an acoustic guitar, Hopkins gets to the very heart of the blues, his unadorned style placing nuance and emotion above volume and precision. Every song on this 11-track album–particularly the lonely ”Sail On, Little Girl, Sail On”, the bleak ”Death Bells”, and the resigned ”Jailhouse Blues”–is a testament to the strength of Hopkins’s playing in such a minimal and informal environment.
Although the Texas bluesman was just shy of 50 during these sessions, his world-weary voice makes him seem much older, lending an added gravity tothese tales of life, love, travel, and isolation. Those looking for a direct link between Hopkins and his legendary predecessors Blind Lemon Jefferson and Robert Johnson will findit on this potent outing of top-notch country blues.”
