Editorial Reviews

In this 71 minute CD, rare recordings of a young Rory Block and Stefan Grossman are featured. As well, the original landmark 1964 Elektra release of their How To Play Blues Guitar (plus out-takes) is presented. This is an enhanced CD and features a PDF file of tab/music for all the tunes from How To Play Blues Guitar. After these tracks were recorded Rory went on to record solo albums and be the Winner of five WC Handy Blues Music Awards. Stefan went on to record solo albums as well as the highly acclaimed duet albums with John Renbourn. He has also authored countless guitar books on the Country Blues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, very rare CD by one of the finest, December 15, 2008
This review is from: Country Blues Guitar: Rare Archival Recordings 1963-1971 (Audio CD)
32 tracks by Rory Block; how can you beat that? This CD is truly rare, being recorded mostly when she was 13, if you can imagine! Simply some great country blues by one of the best in the genre, bar none!! But get it from someone other than Amazon itself since it's $18 thru them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Acoustic Early Blues and young Rory, February 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Country Blues Guitar: Rare Archival Recordings 1963-1971 (Audio CD)
This is a rare opportunity to hear young Rory Block, and hear her talent at a young age as she plays the older country blues. Rory Block is today's Guitar Queen of the blues. She plays with the heart of the Delta in her soul.
