Details

Description

Mississippi Joe Callicott singing "River Blues" from his 1970 album, "Deal Gone Down". He is a gentle master of the Piedmont style blues...from down South. Although his early recording career resulted in only two songs issued in 1930, Joe Callicott (1899-1969) is often regarded as one of Mississippi’s finest early bluesmen. In 1967 George Mitchell re-discovered him & Callicott recorded more extensively and served as mentor to Nesbit guitarist, Kenny Brown. Enjoy!
