April 14, 2023Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1893 – August 14 or 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences. Through the 1930s and 1940s, he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class African-American audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star.

April 14, 2023Blind Blake (1895-1937) is a figure of enormous importance in American music. Not only was he one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time, but Blake also seems to have been the primary developer of “finger-style” ragtime on the guitar, the six-string equivalent to playing ragtime on the piano. Blake mastered this form so completely that few if any, guitarists who have learned to play in this style since Blake have been able to match his quite singular achievements in this realm. “Bad Feelin’ Blues” was recorded in 1926 and is a perfect example of Blake’s finger-style approach. It’s tuned to drop D. Pay close attention to the super-fast triplets occurring throughout much of the song (notated with a “3” in the traditional music score).
