5.0 out of 5 stars Mmm....blues!, 28 Sep 2004
By A Customer
The third volume in the "American Folk Blues Festival" DVD series includes a few more acoustic numbers than the two previous issues, thanks to Danish television who picked up the ball when "Jazz Gehört und Gesehen" didn't want to tape the 1967 tour.

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee get an entire little three-song set which includes "Stranger Blues" and a "Kansas City"-ripoff titled "Gonna Move Across The River". Nehemia "Skip" James gets two songs, Bukka White growls his way through a five-minute "Got Sick And Tired", and the great Son House does a slow but stately and very somber rendition of his "Death Letter".

Big Mama Thornton's awesome rendition of "Hound Dog" is another highlight (she actually makes Presley's version seem mildly embarrasing by comparison), as is Buddy Guy's rarely heard performance of "Out Of Sight", a swinging, soulful number which part of the audience felt was too "modern" and not bluesy enough.
And this DVD includes the only known footage of Little Walter Jacobs performing. He cuts a dashing figure, lean and mean in his dark suit as he blows the harp behind the towering Theodore "Hound Dog" Taylor on one of the best songs on the disc, Hound Dog's sizzling boogie "Wild About You".

Apparently Walter was less than happy with Hound Dog, who also plays rhythm guitar for Koko Taylor's equally impressive performance of "Wang Dang Doodle":
"-He ain't no use at all - damn southern coon! How can I do what I want when that's how I'm fixed up?" he raged, referred to Hound Dog Taylor's inability to provide the kind of subtle, jazzy backup that Walter was used to hearing from his usual guitarists.
"-Hound Dog couldn't accompany nobody but himself", Koko Taylor agreed when asked about Walter's comments earlier this year. But while it's obvious that Hound Dog Taylor is no Robert Lockwood, most listeners probably won't even notice what it was that made Walter so upset...Hound Dog's rhythm guitar playing is VERY basic, sure, but not at all unlistenable.

Muddy Waters is here as well, doing the slow "Long Distance Call" and the tougher "Got My Mojo Working", and Big Joe Turner (man, is he big!) does a great, jazz-flavoured "Flip, Flop And Fly".
It's kinda funny to see country bluesmen Terry and McGhee in their short-sleeved shirts performing next to the strikingly urbane, tie-clad Memphis Slim on Helen Humes' "The Blues Ain't Nothing But A Woman", but Walter "Brownie" McGhee, who sings one of the verses, is actually a fine, soulful and quite subtle vocalist.

Anyone who liked the first two volumes should love this third one just as much. Here's hoping for a volume four!
