Details
He was one of the greatest Blues musicians, who died too early: JAMES
BOOKER. This concert from 1976 shows Booker on one of his best
performances ever. James C. Booker’s performance was exceptionally
marvellous and just what blues should be all about. All the talk about
his problems and the creation of legends which immediately started after
his early death in 1983 (in the waiting room of a rehabilitation
clinic!), seemed so unimportant and irrelevant that day, just as
irrelevant as the timetable of the Hamburg metro, because it does not
matter if the last train has already departed (as on that particular
evening) with an artist performing many of his own creations but also
several blues-classics with so much devotion while being deeply rooted
in the spiritual soil of this special city located between Mississippi
and Lake Pontchartrain.
