Big Joe Williams - Mississippi's Big Joe Williams and His Nine-String Guitar (2021) [Hi-Res]

This set of 13 songs was recorded in Chicago in 1961 and reissued by Smithsonian Folkways in 1995.
Big Joe Williams, whose recording career spanned over seven decades, was a true delta blues musician whose playing can be described as inspiration, originality and dedication. This album is one more proof of these words. Every song performed by Big Joe Williams is a pearl. His manner of singing and playing (on nine string guitar this time) the blues is something one can't forget or ignore. At the moments when song reaches culnmination (which happens frequently) listener gets a feeling whole orchestra is playing instead of one man. Pay particular attention to "Bluebird Blues", "Elevate Me Baby" and "King Biscuit Stomp #2".
There is no weak song on this album. No, there is no weak song in the whole career of Big Joe Williams.
Touch the magic of one of the greatest delta blues musicians ever, Big Joe Williams, and his nine-string guitar.
Those who've never heard Big Joe Williams might be genuinely surprised at just how outstanding a musician he was, being tremendously accomplished on his self-made nine-string guitar and with vocals as expressive and forceful as Muddy Waters. Beautifully remastered, this collection finds Williams' talents at their peak with a fine variation of raw country blues like "Whistling Pines" and "Kings Highway Blues," and more strongly uptempo tracks like "Somebody's Been Fooling #1" and "King Bisquit Stomp #2." None of the thirteen tracks disappoint, as this ranks among the strongest releases in the Big Joe Williams' catalogue.
