Double LP gatefold vinyl with MP3 download included. Country blues, as raw and original as it can get! 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 by car in two and a half months, they used 180,000 feet 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. Featuring Guitar Frank, Memphis Piano Red, Flora Molton And The Truth Band, Lottie Murrell, Sam Chatmon, James "Son" Thomas & Cleveland "Brooman" Jones, Hammie Nixon, Cora Fluker & Ola Mae Bell, Walter Brown, Archie Edwards, "Bowling Green" John & "Harmonica" P. Wiggins, Lonny Pitchford, Sam "Stretch" Shields, Joe Savage, Arzo Youngblood, "Big G" Davis, Guitar Slim, Boyd Rivers, and Boochie Bill Webb.
