Honeyboy Edwards exemplifies the well-traveled Delta bluesman. He made his first recordings for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress in July of 1942 in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He traveled throughout the South, and up to Chicago. Legend has it that on one of his travels to Chicago, he brought Little Walter there for the first time. His long and illustrious recording career includes releases on ARC, Sun, Chess, Folkways, Earwig, Milestone, Adelphi, Echo, Blue Horizon, Blues Classics, Flyright, Document, Roots, Trix, Testament, Evidence, and his Grammy®-award winning collaboration on the Blue Shoe Project label. Though in his 90s, Honeyboy's touring schedule is greater than most musicians a third his age. His durable approach to blues is a time machine back into the glory days of prewar Delta blues. |
