Furry Lewis With Lee Baker, Jr. – Take Your Time
Label: Adelphi Records Inc. / Genes Records Released: 2000 Format: Mp3@320  In the late 1920â™s, Furry Lewis was “discovered” on Beale Street and recorded on 78 rpm by the major labels serving the newly emerging market for Black American music. Unfortunately for Furry and a number of other country blues artists, changing times and tastes made this a short-lived popularity, one not to be appreciated again for several decades. When the spotlight returned to Furry, beginning in the 1960s, he became an immediate hit with young people the world over, not only for his mastery of slide guitar but also for the wit and wisdom he shared with audiences and that joyful personality of his that delighted and enlightened. These recordings, made in 1969, reveal Furry at his best--the master showman in comfortable and appreciative surroundings, accompanied by his best friend and student, Lee Baker, a young Memphis guitarist already established as a forerunner in the new blues rock idiom. Like his live performances, Furryâ™s songlist for this album ran the gamut from classic country blues to gospel to Tin Pan Alley favorites of the early part of the century. To know Furry was to love him. To those fortunate enough to have known Furry, this collection will bring back wonderful memories. If this great artist is new to you, there is no better introduction to the music and the man than Take Your Time.
