LEADBELLY, NO STRANGER TO THE BLUES. 38 blues songs, tecnica, tuning, spessore delle corde, photo, 128 pagine Huddie Ledbetter, chiamato Lead belly (pancia di piombo), nacque a Mooringsport in Luisiana nel 1885. Fu scoperto da John Lomax nel 1933 quando era nel penitenziario di Angola negli Stati Uniti, ove scontava una dura condanna per aggressione. Da quell’anno fino al 1940 Leadbelly incise la maggior parte delle sue canzoni, strettamente avvinghiate alla tradizione dei neroamericani. E’ morto atrocemente, per una malattia terribile, il 6 Dicembre del 1949. Titoli come "Alberta" ripresa anche da Eric Clapton nell’album "Unplugged", o "goodnight Irene" che potrete ascoltare anche nell’incisione di Jerry Lee Lewis con il suo pianoforte, portano la sua firma. John Lomax padre, e il figlio Alan, setacciavano i campi di cotone e i penitenziari raccogliendo canzoni per "The library congress", e furono gli stessi che scoprirono Muddy Waters. Bisogna dire però che i Lomax pur essendo pagati profumatamente, non rilasciavano alcun compenso agli sconosciuti e miserabili musicisti di colore, che andavano a scovare nelle loro stamberghe-abitazione disperse in un campo di cotone, e al massimo come "elemosina" elargivano loro pochi centesimi; alcuni addirittura per una sudata serie di canzoni cantate a squarciagola dentro una capanna infuocata dal tetto in lamiera, reso incandescente dal sole estivo, hanno ricevuto come ricompensa una bottiglia di limonata. Anche Leadbelly, che grazie ai Lomax era uscito di prigione un po' prima, è stato trattato come una "pezza da piedi", e schiavizzato come autista dalla loro ricca famiglia. E poi alla fine; quasi tutti gli incassi delle canzoni di Leadbelly se li è intascati John Lomax, affermando che i testi delle canzoni li aveva scritti lui! La solita storia di "carogne" che sfruttano e si arricchiscono con quelli di colore, che hanno qualcosa da dire. I NIRVANA nell’album "unplugged in N.Y." hanno registrato la canzone di Leadbelly "where did you sleep last night". Ma i Nirvana che cosa hanno a che fare con la musica blues? Kurt Cobain era un grande ammiratore di Leadbelly, e possedeva anche numerosi suoi dischi.

ORIGINAL RECORDINGS

SERIES: Stefan Grossman’s Early Masters of American Blues Guitar
CATEGORY: Guitar Method or Supplement
FORMAT: Book & CD

The Early Masters of American Blues series provides the unique opportunity to study the true roots of modern blues. Stefan Grossman, noted roots-blues guitarist and musicologist, has compiled this fascinating collection of 16 songs, transcribed exactly as performed by legendary blues master Lonnie Johnson. In addition to Stefan's expert transcriptions, the book includes a CD containing the original recordings of Lonnie Johnson so you can hear the music as he performed it.

One of the most influential blues artists of the 20th century, Lonnie Johnson began his 50-year music career in the early 1920s, and continued to perform and record until his passing in 1970. Recording both as a soloist and with legends like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson's influence can still be heard today, from the work of blues guitar greats like T-Bone Walker and B.B. King, to a whole new generation of blues players.

INTRODUCTION

by Stefan Grossman
I grew up in New York City. During the 1960s I had the
unique opportunity to see and study with a host of great
blues guitar players: Mississippi John Hurt, Son House,
Skip James, Fred McDowell, Mance Lipscomb, Bukka
White, and especially Rev. Gary Davis.
I spent several years traveling up to the Bronx every
weekend to learn guitar from Rev. Davis. He had a vast
repertoire of songs and guitar styles and a memory that
was as sharp as a razor. He would talk about recordings
and performers of country bluesmen from the 1920s and
1930s. Usually he was disdainful of their talents-Blind
Lemon Jefferson could play the guitar but he cried when
he sang; Blind Boy Fuller couldn't play the guitar and
needed lessons; using a bottleneck was cheating. But
Rev. Davis had his own guitar heros-Blind Blake had a
sportin' right hand, Willie Walker was a guitar giant and
onnie Johnson was the king of the fretboard.
s a teenager, I absorbed each word and note of Rev.
Davis as the gospel. I bought blues albums, searched for
old 78s, and went to clubs to see blues guitarists. Gerdes
olk City was a center for concerts in New York City and
one week I discovered that Lonnie Johnson would be
playing there. With great eagerness I went down to see
he "king of fretboard."
onnie was playing a cheap electric guitar and using
a plectrum. His blues were a combination of late 1940s
&B tunes and folk blues played in a very diluted
ashion. His singing had a cocktail lounge edge. All in all
I was disappointed. I saw and heard nothing that I would
ant to play.
uring the next few years, I saw Lonnie Johnson in
arious blues festivals and club appearances. I was
ever impressed but in the back of my mind I had Rev.
avis' unequivacable recommendation that Lonnie was
one of the best that had ever played the blues.
Nhat a fool a teenager can be! If only one of my record
ollector friends would have played me some of Lonnie's
great instrumental tracks from the 1920s, I might have
een converted on the spot! As was, I didn't really
delve into Johnson's playing until 20 years later. During
e 1960s, Lonnie's brand of blues was out of fashion
with both record collectors and blues enthusiasts. The
Delta blues was high on everyone's mind and guitar
playing fingers. The steady flow of melodic riffs and
runs that Lonnie recorded in the 1920s/1930s were too
sophisticated and jazz oriented for blues guitarists and
record collectors.
Many of the fingerstyle blues guitarists of the 1960s
eventually got interested in single-line improvisation and
electric blues styles. This usually started with studying
B.B. King and then Albert King and Freddie King. The
road travelled backwards in time from players of the
'60s to '50s (T-Bone Walker) to '40s (Charlie Christian)
and eventually ended in the '30s and '20s with Lonnie
Johnson. The roots of modern electric blues and rock
guitar can be found in the playing of Lonnie Johnson.
Lonnie was sadly overlooked in his later years by blues
and guitar playing historians. He was never interviewed
in depth about either his life or his guitar techniques.
What a crime; especially as his guitar playing has so
many mysteries.
When listening to Lonnie's early great recordings, one
is struck with how spectacular, complex and innovative
they are. What is very unusual is that the tonality and
key is the same for so many tunes. He might have his
guitar tuned low, or play it with a capo, or use a twelve
string instead of a six string but the chord shapes are
always based around the key of D. Document Records
(Eipeldauerstr. 23/43/5, A-1220 Vienna, Austria) have
released a 7-volume CD set Lonnie Johnson-The
Complete Recorded Works (each CD containing over 20
titles) and within those 140 plus tracks, you will only find
3 or 4 tunes in a key other than D! Yet, Lonnie's recording
output in the 1940s and 1950s has little in common
with blues in D, and he in fact rarely played in that key
or style during these years. I personally CCllHlUlcile
another guitarist whose style and technique changed so
dramatically, especially after it was so widely acclaime
and imitated. This is a very strange phenomenon that
only Lonnie could have helped us to understand.
There are a host of great instrumentals and blues
accompaniments that Lonnie recorded in the '20s and
'30s. This book presents a collection of 16 instrumental

I libri della serie "I primi maestri americani della chitarra Blues" offrono l'opportunità unica di studiare le vere radici del blues moderno. Stefan Grossman, noto chitarrista e musicologo, ha compilato questa affascinante collezione di 26 canzoni del leggendario chitarrista Blues Mississippi John Hurt. Oltre alle esperte trascrizioni di Stefan, il libro include un CD contenente le registrazioni originali di John Hurt, in modo da poter sentire la musica come era originariamente eseguita. Mississippi John Hurt ha avuto una carriera affascinante, in origine registrò una manciata di canzoni alla fine del 1920, e dopo essere stato dimenticato per quasi 30 anni, fu riscoperto da una nuova generazione di musicisti che comprendeva Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, e Stephen Sills. Ritrovato nel 1963, mentre viveva in una piccola città del Mississippi, da un ammiratore che lo ha rintracciato attraverso i testi del suo singolo "Avalon Blues" del 1928, Mississippi John Hurt è stato convinto ad andare a Washington, DC e iniziare una nuova carriera. E ha trascorso i successivi tre anni suonando e registrando. Oltre a trascrivere tutte le canzoni di questa raccolta, Stefan Grossman è stato anche allievo di John Hurt.

INTRODUCTION by Stefan Grossman
This collection has been a pleasure to put together. I first
heard the records of Mississippi John Hurt when I was
15years old. He had recorded 20 sides for the OKeh
record company in 1928of which 12 had been released.
During the folk revival ofthe 1960s,reissue albums began
to appear and many old blues recordings found their way
to the grooves of LPs. John Hurt's arrangements for "Spike
Driver Blues," "Frankie," "Stagolee," "Nobody's Dirty
Business," Candyman," "Louis Collins," and "Got the Blues
Can't Be Satisfied" became necessary ingredients to any
young fingerpicker's repertoire.
John Hurt's old recordings had a magnetic atmosphere
and a strong lyrical contents that made them attractive
to both players and listeners. His guitar style was easily
recognizable. The alternating bass pattern evoked the
piano sounds of turn-of-the-century America and against
this a melody line was interweaved. The same approach
was explored during the mid-1950s by White guitarists
such as Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. By the 1960s,this
guitar technique was completely embraced by folksingers
as far afield as Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, and Stephen
Stills to Joan Baez.
Then in 1963,miracle of miracles occurred when Tom
Hoskin decided to try to locate the "legendary" Mississippi
John Hurt. John had recorded a song during his 1928
sessions titled "Avalon Blues." The current maps of
Mississippi did not show a town called Avalon, but in an
1878atlas, Avalon was shown as a small dot between
Greenwood and Grenada, Mississippi. Tom headed south
from Washington, D.C.and two days later pulled into
Stinson's store, an old combination gas station, general
store, and post office, which, with the owner's house,
comprised the entirety of Avalon. Tom asked several men
if they had ever heard or knew about a singer called
Mississippi John Hurt and was amazed when the pointed
down the dirt road and said, "'bout a mile down that road,
third mail box up the hill. Can't miss it."
Tom brought John up to Washington, D.C.to record and
perform and almost immediately Mississippi John Hurt was
a hit on the folk music scene. He performed at folk clubs,
The Newport Folk Festival, college campuses, and even the
Johnny Carson Tonight Show!
I met Mississippi John at his first concert in New York City.
Tom was a friend of mine and the chance to hear, as well
as meet, Mississippi John Hurt was almost too much for
me to imagine. The concert presented John and Doc Boggs
(another folk legend, but in this case in the story of white
five-string mountain banjo playing). After the concert, I
went backstage to say hellos and Tom insisted that I play
guitar for John and Doc. I picked a few of John's tunes that
I had transcribed from his 1928recordings. John started to
dance while Doc laughed and banged out time on his banjo
skin. This began my friendship with John Hurt that lasted
until his death.
Mississippi John Hurt was a wonderful teacher. He
patiently showed me his arrangements and licks as well
as giving me insight into life itself. John Hurt was a unique
man. He had a gentleness that could penetrate walls and
a voice that could relax your soul while your feet danced
to his guitar rhythms.
This collection brings together 26 great songs and
guitar arrangements. All the keys that John played in are
presented. On first listening, John Hurt's playing seems
deceptively easy, but to master his sound is quite a
challenge. He used three fingers to play. His ring and little
finger rested on the face of the guitar while he picked.
The source of John's unique sound can be found in his
thumb strokes. Basically, an alternating bass is used
throughout John's playing. The sound that is produced
can be described as "bum-chick." The first beat hits the
bass note with commitment but the second beat hits the
string hard enough to have the other strings vibrate. As a
result, a "chick" is created. This is fundamental to John's
style. The bass can stand by itself without any melody
lines and still sound musical. When the treble lines
are added, these act almost as embellishments. The
"John Hurt sound" is all in yourthumb.
Fortunately, there is some footage of John that comes
from Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest. Seeing John play
will help you to better understand the power and
eloquence of his playing and singing. I have included
these performances in my video series Country Blues
Guitar Parts 1,2, & 3(Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop). I strongly recommend these.

MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT by Jas Obrecht
Songster and bluesman, John Hurt had a beautifully
syncopated fingerpicking style and a gentle, guileless
voice. After making a handful of 78s, he faded from view
during the Depression and then arose phoenix-like during
the 1960s.Throughout his career, his music provided an
aural passport to a bygone age of cakewalks and rags,
parables and polite society.
Hurt was 35 years old when he journeyed alone from the
Mississippi hill country to Memphis for his first session.
It was Valentine's Day, 1928,and the experience was not
entirely pleasant: "A great big hall with only Mr. Rockwell,
one engineer, and myself," John remembered. "I sat on
a chair and they pushed the microphone right up close
to my mouth and told me not to move after they found the
right position. Oh, I was nervous, and my neck was sore for
days after." Eight songs were cut that day, but only a single
OKeh 78 was issued-"Nobody's Dirty Business" backed
by "Frankie," one of his few songs in open tuning. Hurt was
paid about $20 per song, a good fee for unproven talent.
The original note on Columbia's file cards for the matrixes"
old time music"-was later changed to "race."
Hurt headed home and worked another season; under his
sharecropping arrangement atthe time, half of the corn
and cotton he grew on 13 acres was turned over to the land
owner. In November, IJ. Rockwell wrote Hurt inviting him to
record again. John's December 21st session in New York City
produced usable version of "Ain't No Tellin'" (essentially new
words set to the "Make Me Pallet On the Floor" melody),
the murder ballad "Louis Collins," and "Avalon Blues." On
December 28, 1928,Hurt was back in the studio for his final
and most fruitful prewar session, cutting three spirituals
and five blues. Of all Hurt's prewar sides, the one he
composed his first day in New York, "Avalon Blues,"
proved to be the most important. Nearly four decades
after its release, it would lead to his rediscovery:
"Avalon my home town,
always on my mind,
Avalon my home town,
always on my mind,
Pretty mama's in Avalon,
want me there all the time"
During the 1920s,when its population was less than a
hundred, Avalon, Mississippi was little more than a
ramshackle rail settlement between Greenwood and
Grenada. Born in nearby Teoc on July 3, 1893,John Smith
Hurt spent most of his life living there in poverty. He had
seven older brothers and two sisters. He made it through
the fifth grade at St. James School, and around this time
began teaching himself guitar. "I always tried to make my
strings say just what I say," he'd explain. "I grab it and go
my way with it. Use my melody with it." By age 12,John
was singing "Good Mornin' Miss Carrie," "Satisfied,"
Frankie and Johnny," and other non-blues songs at house
parties, sometimes working with a fiddler. His gentle voice,
relaxed feel, and light, idiosyncratic fingerpicking made
his music far better suited for front-porch listening than
cornfield stomps. Some nights, he remembered, he and a
pal would awaken the neighbors with their playing. "We go
along to people's private homes, way in the night, midnight,
one o'clock. 'Serenadin" we call it. We knew you well, we
tip up on the porch and we'd wake you up with music. Well,
you might lay there and listen, you might not get up and ask
us in. Sometimes you'd get up and say come on in."
Once, when he was asked about the first blues he'd learned,
Hurt played "Lazy Blues," a simple, original arrangement
in E major that had more in common with Memphis players
than Delta musicians such as Robert Johnson:
"Wake up in the morning, a towel tied round her head,
When you speak to her, she swear she almost dead"
During "Talking Casey," Hurt used a slide to imitate bells
and quote familiar melodies-a technique similar to Blind
Willie McTell in Atlanta-while thumbing train rhythms on
his bass strings. He composed in many keys-E, A, 0, and
G,which was especially convenient for a strong alternating
bass-but unlike many Delta musicians seemed to prefer C.
Much of his music was probably a souvenir of his childhood.
Asked by a white landlord how he created melodies,
Hurt responded, "Well, sir, I just make it sound like I think it
ought to."
After his father passed away, John helped his mother
raise cotton, corn, and potatoes. To make ends meet, he
sometimes hired himself out to a neighboring farm, while
his mother washed clothes and cooked. During 1915,Hurt
worked for the Illinois Central jacking up and leveling...
