Richard Ray Farrell & Steve Guyger
âDown Home Old School Country Bluesâ
âOld Fashions please me best.â
-Bianca in Shakespeareâs Taming of the Shrew
Depending on the musical genre, the term âold schoolâ means different
things to different people. To the aficionado of acoustic blues, it generally refers
to the heyday of unamplified country blues between 1920 and 1960. The pantheon
of influential blues artists from this period has cast a long shadow. The 16 covers
herein showcase the diversity of this enduring genre. Contemporary duos like Santa Barbaraâs Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan, Virginiaâs John Cephas & Phil Wiggins, and
Bostonâs Paul Rishell & Annie Raines, all cast in the mold of legendary country blues torchbearers Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, have performed and recorded this style of blues with substantial success for several decades.
The Bucks County, PA based tandem of guitarist Richard Ray Farrell and harpist Steve Guyger, with a combined 65 years of performance experience and several critically acclaimed albums each, can now take their place with the aforementioned dynamic duos with this labor of love. There are so many surprises here as only five tunes on this old school musical classroom are familiar standards
(John Lee Williamsonâs, a.k.a. Sonny Boy I, âGood Morninâ Little Schoolgirlâ and
âEarly in the Morning,â Big Joe Williamsâ, âBaby Please Donât Go,â Tommy Johnsonâs âBig Road Blues,â and Robert Lockwoodâs âThatâs Alrightâ).
It takes veteran virtuosos like Farrell & Guyger to render this timeless music true to the spirit of its progenitors while keeping it fresh and personal with deft, fervid picking, fluid, wailing harmonica and unpretentious vocals. By doing so they maintain its sparse, soulful simplicity, pristine minimalism, and, most importantly, its emotional urgency. In this age of synthetic everything, savor the unadulterated real deal of Down Home Old School Country Blues.
