Ethan Leinwand - Peetie Wheatstraw's Blues
Музыка
Instrumental version /in the style of Peetie Wheatstraw's "Don't Feel Welcome." Wheatstraw, aka The Devil's Son-in-Law, aka The High Sheriff of Hell, was one of the most popular blues recording artists of the 30s. Despite this fact, he - like his many of his fellow St. Louis bluesmen - is considered relatively obscure. Sadly, few champion Wheatstraw's piano playing. Though it is surely a crude style, there is something haunting and ethereal in it.

That's how I felt when I first heard the low down stuff. Instantly obsessed! Glad you dig it
Awesome! I love this style of blues. Just started reading about Peetie Wheatstraw in "Escaping the Delta."
Ethan, Thanks for presenting the works of journeyman artists many of whom are not now routinely given their due. One thing that I appreciate in this particular presentation is that (at the way you play Petie Wheatstraw's Blues) it comes across as something I could aspire to actually play (as opposed to just being something I could enjoy listing to a pro perform.

Thanks for the comment! Peetie and many of the urban mid-west players (who were lucky enough to record in the 20s and 30s) had a style that did not require a lot of hardcore technical skills . Especially compared to Harlem stride and other early jazz pianists. The low-down stuff is simple, but not necessarily easy. But, if you can find the groove and learn some of the language, most anyone who wanted to could play it. I wish more did!!
I sure do love that thumping hard driving barrelhouse blues. Great stuff Ethan.

Is there a more underrated blues musician that Peetie Wheatstraw? Crazy how little love and attention he gets. Thanks for digging it and for the kind words! I'm definitely due to make another Devil's Son-In-Law inspired video. It's on my list!
Thanks for a fantastic piece of music.
Impeccable taste otra vez.
Very nice!

@@EthanLeinwand that would make my heart sing! Sorry I got a bit corny, but it's damn true! I was schooled classically in piano and voice for a combined 25 years, so I need to shake all of that off, but I can't wait for the challenge!
Amazing.

I don't know of any transcriptions of Peetie's low down sound. Speckled Red rules! The only modern player i know who plays his stuff is Carl Sonny Leyland.
