The very real Blues: Arthur Crudup & Sons

Cuando tuve la suerte de ver, hace un mazo de años, y nada menos que en pantalla grande, el documental franchute "Along The Old Man River", un fragmento se me quedó grabado de forma indeleble. Sí, sí, B.B. King o Brownie & Sonny estaban muy bien, desde luego, pero la aparición de este veterano de Mississippi acompañado por sus hijos, en su salsa, era "otra cosa", definitivamente: blues de los que huelen y se mastican, el feeling en persona. Ahora entiendo por qué el propio Muddy Waters citaba a Crudup como uno de sus cantantes preferidos de todos los tiempos...

The first two blues albums I bought were a BB King one and an Arthur Crudup one (Fire/Fury recordings), two very different styles of blues. I've never heard anybody play guitar like Arthur, it's a very individual but effective style, and his singing is very direct, full of soul and touches just where it needs to. One of the greats for sure.

Thank you for posting this clip. Mr. Crudup influenced generations of musicians and shared the pure love of creating tunes to extend around the world. His legacy is powerful and will never disapear as the Blues is the basis for what we hear today. Bless this man for his God given talent!

Arthur Crudup - whom I played drums with and took some very nice portraits of - was NEVER inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame under 'Influences', yet MANY he influenced have been! "The colored folks been (performing) it for more years than I know," Elvis told reporters in 1956. "I got it from them ... in Tupelo, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw'"
