Blues on Highway 49

by Big Joe Williams

Overview

One of Big Joe Williams's better releases, Blues on Highway 49 is a tense, gritty set of roadhouse blues. Williams's stinging playing and singing brings out the best in such songs as "Tiajuna Blues" and "45 Blues" -- he shows exactly how Delta blues could be updated. ~ Thom Owens
