Vicksburg Blues


Yes, this is Little Brother Montgomery. I love the restrained piano work in that performance. He could boogie too. Here's the Little Brother Boogie


Mr. Montgomery was born in Louisiana back in 1906 and lived until 1985. He eventually traveled the world playing his blues.

I was looking for something else in my CD collection when I came across a collection of his tunes I haven't listened to in ages. I like his playing style a lot. I could listen to it all day. Here's one more: Prescription for the Blues. Dr. can you find something in your satchel to ease my troubled mind?
