Legends Of Country Blues: The Complete Prewar Recordings of Skip James, Son House, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, Ishman Bracey

Bukka White - Sparkasse In Concert (1975)

Mississippi has been the birthplace of many world famous musicians. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, was born in Tupelo. B.B. King, the King of Blues, was born in Clarksdale. Another great Mississippi musician, although perhaps less famous, happens to be the first cousin of B.B. King. This early blues musician, Bukka White, may not have sold as many records, but his music endures to this day.

Recorded live in the Auditorium of the OPD (Oberpostdirektion), Bremen, Germany, March 11, 1975.

Bukka White - 1968 Memphis Festival & Horizons Sessions [2 CD, 2006]

 This two CD set featuring Bukka's 1968 performance at the Memphis Country Blues Festival on Disc One and his complete Blue Horizon studio sessions on Disc Two. Although Bukka's career as a blues artist began in the '30s, his huge influence on Blues was not properly acknowledged until nearly 30 years later when Bob Dylan recorded his version of Bukka's 'Fixin' to Die Blues'. Only then, did people stand up and take notice of the amazing talents of this Mississippi bluesman. These recordings show an artist still gifted with the talents that made him one of the finest around. 23 tracks in all including 'Highway '61', 'Drifting Blues', 'Old Man Tom', 'You Don't Know My Mind', 'Got Sick And Tired' and more. Blue Horizon. 2006.
