Der Mann ist eine lebende Legende. In die Geheimnisse des Blues wurde er von Robert Johnson eingeweiht und dessen Erbe führt er bis auf den heutigen Tag fort. Robert Lockwood, Jr. Ist zwar 86 Jahre alt, aber kein bisschen leise. Ganz im Gegenteil: auf Delta Crossroads unterstreicht er seinen Ruf als musikalischer Alleinunterhalter, der den Blues nicht nur gelernt, sondern auch verinnerlicht hat. Sogar eine Begleitband schenkt er sich. Ein Barhocker, ein Mikro und ein Verstärker genügen vollauf, um diesen Mann ein Podium zu bieten. Das bestaunenswerte Ergebnis ist Blues wie er leibt und lebt – ewig jung, authentisch.
Product Information
On Delta Crossroads, blues legend Robert Lockwood, Jr. performs a slate of Robert Johnson classics, along with new and old songs of his own, and several associated with other great Delta players. It’s clear when listening to Lockwood’s Telarc debut that the music has never stopped evolving, and his skill on 12-string guitar remains undiminished.
W. C. Handy winner and 1999 Grammy nominee Lockwood cruises through a set of exquisitely crafted songs from the Robert Johnson catalog, including "32-20 Blues," "I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom," "Love in Vain Blues," "Stop Breakin’ Down Blues," "Little Queen of Spades," "Ramblin’ on My Mind," and "Mr. Downchild," a tune Lockwood attributes to Johnson.
Lockwood also covers Lightnin’ Hopkins’ "C. C. Rider," Leroy Carr’s "In the Evening (When the Sun Goes Down)," and "Mean Mistreater Mama," along with "Keys to the Highway" (which Lockwood says Jazz Gillum wrote and not Big Bill Broonzy). From his own songbook, Lockwood performs "Run Your Mama," "My Woman Came Walking Down," "We're Gonna Ball Tonight," "This Little Girl of Mine," and "Train My Baby."
Produced by Joe Harley (whose work with Telarc includes discs with Terry Evans, Mighty Sam McClain and Ronnie Earl), Lockwood’s solo performances on Delta Crossroads are heard in a completely acoustic setting and sounds emerge in their most appealingly natural state. His rich voice and solo acoustic guitar lines evoke the same musical thrill that Lockwood’s fans have enjoyed for years. (concordmusicgroup. com)
