Customer Reviews of Prison Bound Blues
Majestic Music, Bob Johnson wished he sounded this good! While the less than intelligent yearn for Robert Johnson as a blues god, Robert Johnson yearned to sound like Leroy Carr and his guitar accompanyist Scrapper Blackwell who is heard on each of these sides. Carr's graceful, smooth, romantic, and witty singing and lyrics, the sweet but solid rhythm of his piano, and the way his piano talked with Blackwell's guitar thrilled the blues people and the blues audience not just for the short years they recorded before Carr drank himself to death (and perhaps the fact that his partner Blackwell's main occupation in life being a bootlegger was not a lucky one for his friend Leroy Carr), but blues players were recording and rerecording and trying to sound like Carr down to the 1970s.
Carr's been largely forgotten once blues became a thing of white post folk music followers of "guitar legends" who would like to believe bluesmen were all illiterate sharecroppers from the depths of Mississippi. Carr sounds bring and urbane, schooled and intelligent, if a bit too well marinated as the years went on.However, when the blues was a live music, listened to by black people all over the country, a music that crowded dance floors, and may times good in bars and clubs where WE live, this man's approach to blues was what everyone wanted.
Enough of this history! Leroy Carr and Scrapper play great music, sometimes even majestic music like, How Long Blues, Naptown Blues, and the immortal Blues Before Sunrise.
Listen to this and then you will know why Robert Johnson aspired to sound like Leroy Carr.
