What an incredible concert ~ with the emotional impact that can only come from witnessing the craft of legendary Bluesmen Honeyboy Edwards and Hubert Sumlin. But there was more! Big Head Todd is a talented and gracious individual who gave generously of his time and stage for these legends to perform.
And what a surprise ~ when Steven Johnson, grandson of Robert Johnson strode on the stage! He sang 3 songs at the 'urging' of Todd and delivered them with passion and pride. Lightning Malcom grooves like no other guitarist I've seen and was equally respectful and courteous to his elders. Talk about Cedric Burnside slapping the skins! A ferocious drummer by any standard.
This concert is not to be missed ... I feel blessed to have witnessed such performances.
