http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68947&rws=%2Frobert-pete-williams%2Ftop-tracks.rssRobert Pete Williams' unusual melodies and maverick tunings made him one of the most appreciated folk-blues performers of the post-war period in America. Discovered in a Louisiana prison by intrepid folk aficionados, Williams eventually gained his freedom and went on to wow audiences around the country with the down-home, authentic blues sound that was all the rage in the early 1960s. While he definitely cashed in on a folk trend, Williams' playing had been with him since he first strung up a cigar box as a teenager. Even today the blues man's guitar playing sounds fresh and unusual, while his voice seems to arise from some elemental place that's as timeless as it is fundamentally human. - Sarah BardeenCountry Bluesen720Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:35:12 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68947&rws=%2Frobert-pete-williams%2Ftop-tracks.rss Robert Pete Williams' unusual melodies and maverick tunings made him one of the most appreciated folk-blues performers of the post-war period in America.
