It was too good to pass up!
Last week, I stumbled across Henry Thomas's "Bulldoze Blues" as I was researching the itinerant blues musicians who had made their way into recording studios in the 20's and 30's--and when I heard the melody line that Thomas played on the quills, I immediately recognized Canned Heat's "Going Up Country", one of my favorites from the movie Woodstock!
Maybe we're showing our age (Michael is 61, I'll be 65 later this month), but Michael and I made a quick decision at that point: This week Spinning Tales is going to Rock the Blues! (You might say we'll be caught between a hard rock and a blues place???)
