Thanks  Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order 1927 - 1929 $16.98 I will preface my review with the information that Document Records has re-released this cd, and it is available directly from their website. I suppose the question now is whether it is worth going to the trouble of ordering, and I would answer that with an enthusiastic yes! That is if you have any interest in country blues, or if you've heard and enjoyed at least one song by either of these artists. While some Document cds can be filled out with material by less than stellar musicians, both Harris and Hawkins are powerful performers, each in their own way. I've read multiple theories placing William Harris around the Mississippi Delta, or in Alabama. It's hard to be sure, but his driving performances are certainly akin to other Delta bluesmen. His strongest songs are those he drives the hardest, such as "Leaving Town Blues" and "Bullfrog Blues". That's not to say the others aren't blues of a very high calibre, but the aforementioned songs reveal a distinctive performer who grabs your attention from the get go. I should point out that in their efforts to compile all the recorded sides in chronological order, Document have included a version of "Electric Chair Blues" which is virtually unlistenable, even to these static-seasoned ears. Oh well, the others more than make up for one lost track. Buddy Boy Hawkins is also said to be from either Mississippi or Alabama, but he was an itinerant musician who probably frequented both locales. Hawkins possesses a beautiful tonal quality to his guitar playing, and shows a bit more variety in his repetoire. This variety stems from the eclecticism of the songster tradition, which found artists performing blues, rags, breakdowns, and even some novelty tunes. While Hawkins was undoubtebly a consumate bluesman, his recordings delve into each of these song genres with vigour and consistent proficiency. Just to point out a few points of interest, the song "Snatch it and Grab it" features a second vocalist who it is suspected might be Charley Patton. The last song (also mentioned by the other reviewer) is called "Voice Throwing Blues". This is another version of the classic tune "Hesitation Blues", albeit made into a bizarre and fascinating novelty song as Hawkins does his best nasal sounding ventriloquism, which works surprisingly well on record. In all this is a very satisfying compilation of the complete works of two artists who deserve to be heard and appreciated again (and again and again). Very highly recommended to the country blues lover. |
