I'm not a fan of her voice, but she's pretty damn excellent at the slide playing. I can't seem to get the knack of that, so I have a lot of respect for anyone who has taken the time to learn it.
rory block is one of the few traditional delta blues players left. She left home at 15 and found Mississippi John Hurt and and Rev. Gary Davis and learned from them. She's older than she looks-at least in her 50's now.
No one will do the synchopation the way Robert did it, if you listen to the song, its not in a proper tempo and thats part of the song. Don't get me wrong, I can't do it as well as this woman, who is obviously very tallented. But there is a very distinct synchopation when Robert plays it that I can't find anyone doing... curriously.
