Country blues at its best
Saturday 22nd October, 2011 - Southwell Library
As a fan of 1920s-30s country blues, I got my ticket for Catfish Keith well in advance, and he did not disappoint me or the near capacity crowd.
The warm intimate atmosphere of Southwell Library on Saturday, October 22, was the perfect setting for a superb demonstration of innovative and individual acoustic finger-picking and slide guitar.
Three guitars were utilised in turn to blend power with poignancy, wild improvisation with insistent, hypnotic, one-chord blues such as Jesse Mae Hemphill’s Eagle Bird. He ended with this compelling number before the inevitable encore, Hawaiian Cowboy, with more pacey picking, sung mainly in Hawaiian — TK.
