ANDERSON IAN - CD STEREO DEATH BREAKDOWN

Popis - STEREO DEATH BREAKDOWN:
At the height of the British blues boom in the late 1960s, a handful of musicians came to prominence reinterpreting the acoustic country blues of the 1920s and 30s. Championed by Radio 1 DJs John Peel, Mike Raven and Alexis Korner, and the music press of the day like Melody Maker, the emerging stars of this minimovement were soon snapped up by major labels. So in the winter of 1968/69, Ian Anderson assembled a lively country blues band for his debut album Stereo Death Breakdown, gigging exhaustively alongside household name electric bands and visiting American blues legends like Mississippi Fred McDowell. Influenced by ancient 78rpm recordings of early American country blues artists like Big Joe Williams, Charley Patton, Sleepy John Estes, Tommy McClennan, Garfield Akers, Tommy Johnson and the Memphis Jug Band, So here, remastered from those original tapes, with two extra tracks from a contemporary session and new notes by Ian, is a long-lost British blues collectors piece, finally re-issued just in time for its 40th anniversary. Ian later worked with Hot Vultures, the English Country Blues Band and Tiger Moth.
