On a related note, was pleasantly surprised in past few years when I heard DJ Charlie Bones play this John Lee-sampling St. Germain track on the NTS morning show--my kinda French Touch wine-bar blues remix:

Hey ummmm.. if I’m really into the first side of Hooker n Heat, what else should I be listening to? solo electric stuff that’s just kind of unmetered and kind of angry.

"Unmetered and Kind of Angry" would be the name of my blues album

RIP at 68 from cancer Mississippi hill country bluesman RL Boyce who started as a drummer in Otha Turner’s blues fife and drum band, but later became known as a guitarist and was once nominated for a Grammy, and won a National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellowship award

he lost his Grammy bid ("Best Traditional Blues Album") to the Rolling Stones of all people, one of the more shameful occurrences in the history of that shameful institution

RIP

RIP. He was Otha's nephew iirc.

On a hot summer day in Mississippi,R L Boyce stopped to check in on long time friend Jessie Mae Hemphill.

He was incredible. I was fortunate enough to see him play a few times when he cans up here. Just hypnotic.

Sadly I was not aware of him until today. Listening now, this is excellent.

here's a nice remembrance of RL Boyce from 50 Miles of Elbow Room

Boyce was good.

RIP Red Paden at only 67. My wife and I went to his divey blues bar in Clarksdale, Mississippi once . A great place.

Red Paden, who as the self-proclaimed “king of the juke joint runners” spent four decades as the owner of Red’s, an unassuming music spot in downtown Clarksdale, Miss., and one of the last places in the United States to offer authentic Delta blues in its natural setting, died on Dec. 30. He was 67.
His son, Orlando, said the death, in a hospital in Jackson, Miss., was from complications of heart surgery.
