Description

Used 1964 Prestige Folklore Blue Label with Trident on Right Mono Release by Bandleader/Guitar Master/Blues & Folk Vocalist Geoff Muldaur Entitled Sleepy Man Blues, Supervision by Paul A. Rothchild - "Guitarist Geoff Muldaur, one of many artists to emerge from the folk, blues, and folk-rock scenes centered in Cambridge and Woodstock, was already a well-known blues performer at the time he met up with old-time folk enthusiast Jim Kweskin. Sharing the bill at a 1963 concert in Boston, the two shared many musical interests, and when Kweskin was approached by Vanguard Records, he broughtMuldaur into his group the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. This association led to many successful albums and marriage to the group's fiddle player Maria D'Amato (later Maria Muldaur). Four years and five successful albums later, the couple migrated to Woodstock, NY, where they became part of a new musical community that included Bob Dylan, the Band, Paul Butterfield, and many other notable artists. They divorced in 1972, and Geoff began producing local and national blues artists, as well as making his own recordings. He also composed scores for film and television, earning an Emmy in the process, and his definitive recording of "Brazil" was featured inTerry Gilliam's film of the same title. Muldaur has toured Britain, Germany, and Ireland, and appeared at Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall, the Kennedy Center, "A Prairie Home Companion," the San Francisco Blues Festival, and the Winnipeg and Edmonton Folk Festivals. After breaking away from his solo recordings and performances in the late 80s, Geoff returned to the studio for 1998's The Secret Handshake and 2000's Password while a live performance during this resurgence, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere, was released in 2003. His blues-folk stylings are born of respect for music's history, from the perspective of a contemporary artist very much of his own era." - "This Debut LP has great covers of Blind Willie Johnson's "The Rain Don't Fall on Me," and Bukka White's "Good Gin Blues," and Sleepy John Estes's "Drop Down Mama." - Spectacular Personnel for the Quintet Features Living Legend Geoff Muldaur on Guitar and Vocals, the Brilliant Dave Van Ronk on Additional Guitar, the Great Eric Von Schmidt on Mandolin & Harmonica, Bill Keogh on Piano and Fritz Richmond on Washtub Bass! - Selections on Side A Are Lonnie Johnson's Jelly Roll Baker, the Blind Willie Johnson Classic the Rain Don't Fall on Me, Bukka White's Sleepy Man Blues, Jim Jackson's this Morning She Was Gone, I Have Had my Fun & the Bukka White Penned Good Gin Blues - Tracks for Side B Are the Robert Hicks Song Motherless Child Blues, Peg Leg Howell's Georgia Skin Game, Original Bukka White Composition Aberdeen Mississippi Blues, the Traditional Trouble in MInd and Original Sleepy John Estes Compositions Everybody Ought to Make a Change, Drop Down Mama - Used Copy, Cover Is Slightly Faded with a Medium Surface Ring, Back Cover Has Initials from Previous Owner, Record Near Mint - Mono Recording, Product Code FL 14004 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
