From classic renditions of blues standards to intriguing novelty songs, this is a must-listen for any blues connoisseur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoosely speaking, country blues is best described as the first flowering of acoustic, mainly guitar-driven forms of the blues, often incorporating elements of ragtime, Gospel, hillbilly and Dixieland jazz. The term also provides a convenient general heading for all the multiple regional styles and variations such as Piedmont, Memphis, Texas \u0026amp; Delta etc.. Keeping this in mind, we have tried to touch on its many different facets, including some real hidden oddities like the Gospel parody ‘G. Burns Is Gonna Rise Again’ by T. C. Johnson, Blue Coat Tom Nelson \u0026amp; Porkchop, a bizarre name even by blues standards. In fact, it seems that the deeper you dig into the blues annals the more intriguing the names become, such as \"Hi\" Henry Brown, whose wonderful opener ‘Skin Man Blues’ is akin to the playing of other St. Louis-based bluesmen such as Henry Townsend and Charley Jordan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough many of the artists won’t be familiar, there’s certainly a few well-known blues standards in this collection, from Long \"Cleve” Reed \u0026amp; Little Harvey Hull’s wonderful take on the classic murder ballad ‘Stackolee’ to the mysterious Tommie Bradley’s heartfelt rendition of ‘Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out’. Of particular note is the upbeat instrumental version of ‘Careless Love’ which highlights the virtuosic harmonica playing of Eddie Mapp, who is joined by fellow East Coast bluesman Slim Barton on guitar. Also from the Eastern states, Bull City Red delivers a great performance of Memphis Minnie’s ‘Now I'm Talking About You’, complete with the nimble guitar accompaniment of Reverend Gary Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\u003ch5\u003eTrack Listing \u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Rough Guide To The Best Country Blues You've Never Heard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01 \"Hi\" Henry Brown – Skin Man Blues 02:48\u003cbr\u003e02 Tommie Bradley – When You're Down And Out 03:07\u003cbr\u003e03 Skoodle Dum Do \u0026amp; Sheffield – Tampa Blues 02:50\u003cbr\u003e04 Bull City Red – Now I'm Talking About You 03:04\u003cbr\u003e05 \"Kid\" Prince Moore – Mississippi Water 02:49\u003cbr\u003e06 Jed Davenport \u0026amp; His Beale Street Jug Band – You Ought To Move Out Of Town 03:16\u003cbr\u003e07 Walter Vincent – Overtime Blues 02:53\u003cbr\u003e08 Long \"Cleve\" Reed \u0026amp; Little Harvey Hull – Original Stack O'Lee Blues 02:33\u003cbr\u003e09 Minnie Wallace And Her Night Hawks – Field Mouse Stomp 03:08\u003cbr\u003e10 Virgil Childers – Travelin' Man 02:54\u003cbr\u003e11 Lil McClintock – Don't Think I'm Santa Claus 03:11\u003cbr\u003e12 Gene Campbell – Robbin' And Stealin' Blues 02:42\u003cbr\u003e13 Bogus Ben Covington – It's A Fight Like That 03:03\u003cbr\u003e14 Lewis Black – Gravel Camp Blues 02:58\u003cbr\u003e15 Lonnie Coleman – Wild About My Loving 03:05\u003cbr\u003e16 Big Boy Cleveland – Goin' To Leave You Blues 02:50\u003cbr\u003e17 Elijah Jone – Stuff Stomp 02:42\u003cbr\u003e18 Edward Thompso – Seven Sisters Blues 02:47\u003cbr\u003e19 Slim Barton \u0026amp; Eddie Mapp – Careless Love 02:58\u003cbr\u003e20 Will Day – Sunrise Blues 02:59\u003cbr\u003e21 John Henry Barbee – God Knows I Can't Help It 02:27\u003cbr\u003e22 William McCoy – Central Tracks Blues 03:18\u003cbr\u003e23 Blue Boys – Easy Winner 02:52\u003cbr\u003e24 Otis Harris – You'll Like My Loving 03:20\u003cbr\u003e25 T.C.
