0 Sam Myers: Coming From The Old School (2004)

Myers, who has very limited sight, was educated at the Piney Woods School for the Blind, and played a number of instruments before settling for harmonica at 12. Despite joining the Elmore James band for a time, and recording under his own name and, in the '70s as a member of the Mississippi Delta Blues Band, Myers's fame was largely confined to the Jackson, Mississippi area, until he joined Anson Funderburgh's band as a featured artist.Myers and the band-especially Myers and Mel Brown-are much more together on this album, and the rhythm section is looser and less humdrum. There are some unequivocally good tracks here, notably 'My Daily Wish' on which Brown plays both organ and guitar. On balance, though, this is disappointing CD; most of tracks are at least one solo too long, and while Myers's harp retains its big, bold tone, his stock of ideas is relatively small. As a singer, he seldom escapes a hoarsely inflexible holler.

The purpose of the blog is to divulge and promote artists and their music among the harmonica enthusiasts community. In any way we want to post music and other artistic stuff against the will of their owners. In any way we want to frustrate the author's rights or any kind of commercial purpose as our down loadable archives are collected from around the Internet and are hosted outside this blog. I also remember i do not have any financial and lucrative purpose sharing the music in the blog. The music is for restricted private audition. If you like what you hear, please make sure to buy the cds and support the artists.

Thank you.
