SWEET HOME CHICAGO - David Honeyboy Edwards - Biennale di Venezia 2009

SWEET HOME CHICAGO - David Honeyboy Edwards - Biennale di Venezia 3/10/2009

David "Honeyboy" Edwards (born June 28, 1915, Shaw, Mississippi, United States) is a Grammy Award-winning Delta blues guitarist and singer from the American South. As of August, 2009, Honeyboy Edwards, at age 94, and his close friend, Pinetop Perkins (age 96) are the oldest and arguably, the last Delta blues players still touring the United States remaining from the last century.
Edwards was a friend to the legendary musician Robert Johnson and claims he was present on the fateful night Johnson drank the poisoned whiskey that took his life. Even though Johnson is usually credited with writing "Sweet Home Chicago," Honeyboy's website claims that it was Honeyboy who wrote the famous blues song. (Wikipedia)

Registrato al Teatro delle Tese dell'arsenale durante la biennale musica di venezia il 3/10/2009.
La performance dal vivo era tutta un altra cosa, questa è registrata con una fotocamera buffa, l'audio e le immagini sono indecenti ma traspare comunque qualcosina...
