Blues

The recordings on this collection are raw and powerful. It kicks of with a rich and intense version of John Henry by William Francis and Richard Sowell. Ellis Williams and even more so Alfred Lewis take the playing of Richard Sowell even further - they employ more advanced techniques, with the merging of harp and voice. They both have a more developed sensibility. Album Tracks 1. John Henry Blues - William Francis & Richard Sowell 2. Roubin Blues - William Francis & Richard Sowell 3.
