What are you listening to?

Here's another classic from the wonderful lady.
check out the "Windmill hand turning" on the solo, Hendrix, townsend, and lots of other classic guitarist's nicked it from this wonderful lady...She was the godmother of Rock 'n' Roll. Enjoy .;)
Amazing how she does that - light years ahead of her time. There were bars in Philadelphia during the late Sixties that featured Hot Gospel groups and I tried to get there as often as I could. Incredible talent going to waste. This doesn't follow, but 30 years later, Atlanta had a bar where Rockabilly bands played. Once again, mucho talent up the ying jang. They also had an Open Mike Night, which displayed what seemed like an endless stream of top notch performers. Making it big time must be strictly luck, because there certainly an abundance of gifted people out there floating around. I'm sure where you live it's the same situation.

Visiting those bars in the Sixties, must have been a wonderful experience..Open Mike Night's are to this day a great place to see 'Real working Musicians" doing it purely for the love of the music. Sister Rosetta, must have been quite sensation at the time . A great post. Thanks,regards. ;)

Fantastic, I can imagine at the time she was an idol that young guitarist wanted to emulate. Amazing that it took so long for her to go into the Blues Hall of Fame, that being 2007. Pure and raw talent! :)
 
Evening musical trio.

A superb cover..

Elizabeth Fraser is one of most underated unique singers ever..., i had the honour of seeing The Cocteau Twins in the 80's & early 90's. Totally amazing talent.;)

Totally agree. The Cocteau Twins are my favourite band of all. I adore Elizabeth's voice and for me the greatest female voice of all time.
I saw them a number of times in the 90's too. I actually met Elizabeth and Robin in Sheffield. Liz didn't say a word as she was saving her voice for the gig on the night. As for Robin, well he just mumbled something.
