"William Lee Conley Broonzy became one of the most renowned blues singers-guitarists in the 1930s, popular enough to perform in concerts in England and Europe in the 1950s. He was not an uninhibited shouter of the Joe Turner school, nor did he exhibit the technique and sophistication on guitar that his contemporary, Aaron 'T-Bone' Walker, showed. Yet Big Bill demonstrated a distinctive, musical style of his own as the cuts in this album confirm."

While commonly lumped together with Delta Blues singers, McDowell actually may be considered the first of the bluesmen from the ‘North Mississippi’ region – parallel to, but somewhat east of the Delta region. This compilation is a perfect starting point for people wanting to discover his music.



Lets start the bidding at $1.00, and run the auction till December 14th at 12:00 midnight, eastern standard time. No Reserve Auction. Winning bidder to pay for shipping charges.

Again Please remember that all funds raised from this auction will go toward helping out adopted families. Also I will be auctioning off many more items for our charity in the coming days. If you would like me to hold off on shipping so you could consolidate items to save on shipping I would be happy to.

Thank you for looking

Big Bill is serious old school blues, great stuff. He usually just uses his foot to keep time
 
He's been on my list of Bluesmen to explore for a while now. With a bit of luck, now is the time.
 
Thanks for everyone's support. Sure this one will go fantastic along side Muddy ! Always like artists who kept time with their foot.
 
Just about 28 hours and counting left on this one. Thanks for your bids.

55 stay alive? Sounds a little safe for the rebel in me. How about $60


Congrats and thank you so much for your support ! Payment can be sent to sales@audiokarma.org Please put a note in your payment that it is for VOA, or the record title.
