Blues On Highway 61 with James ‘Son’ Thomas, Sam Chatmon, Walter Brown, Joe Cooper, Cleveland Broomman & Eddie Cusie
Feeling lonesome, being down and out, nowhere to go, walking the highway up and down, riding the Greyhound bus, catching a freight train - all central themes in Blues, and the men you can hear on this record have lived the Blues and this was reality to them. The Blues has always been more than just one person’s story, they are reflections and descriptions of a common lifestyle and experience. These artists tell the truth - the truth about being a black man in Mississippi, across the United States.
The artists you can hear on this record all came from the same region of Mississippi. Their communities were centered around 61 Highway and lay only a couple of miles apart.
Many Blues have been made about 61 Highway. Linking rural Louisiana and Mississsippi with northern industrial areas, thousands of blacks have travelled this road in hopes of a better life and future. Walter Brown’s “Keep On Walkin”’ can be seen as a reflection of their sufferings and struggle, the long road America's blacks had to walk since they were first brought to that country as slaves.
Living Country Blues USA is a series of albums on L+R Records. The material was collected by German Blues experts Siegfried A. Christmann and Axel Küstner on an extended trip thru the south of the USA in the fall of 1980, in the form of so-called "Field-Recordings" - recordings made in the natural surroundings of the artists and not in the studio. Travelling 10.000 miles (16.000 km) by car in 2 1/2 months, they used 180.000 feet (54 km) of tape and took hundreds of photographs to document various aspects of Country Blues, as well as work songs, fife and drum band music, field hollers and rural Gospel music, performed by 35 artists, some of whom appear on record for the first time.

Esto lo considero como n México los mariachis allá los blues y otras como tradiciones de i un pueblo ánimo gringos
Living country blues USA was recorded on a field trip and is presented on 12 volumes plus double LP of introduction to this extraordinary presentation of different types of black country blues and related music, which was still alive in eighties. Some old masters and some new names (especially duo Cephas- Wiggins and excellent Boyd Rivers). All volumes are interesting, but each listener will find some jewell for himself. With my highly recommendation for all blues lovers. Regards from Slovenia!
