The American Folk-Blues Festival - The British Tours - 1964

πŸ“· Jean-Pierre Leloir.
"Even though the series was called β€œfolk blues” it was essentially a misnomer as all kinds of blues was featured, including urban Chicago blues. The concerts were among the first to bring the blues into serious listening room setting, where European audiences enjoyed concerts the way they were used to in their venue halls– quiet, polite, attentive listeners and serious musicians on stage. This was not always a comfortable environment for blues musicians used to a more raucous, lively performance where people could dance and have a good time. When comparing the concert recordings to other live albums by many of the same artists, it is startling to reflect how the European concerts, especially in the 1960s sounded subdued and tentative, almost timid. These same performers would normally deliver fiery and rocking shows, but here the overall result was gentle, almost coldly academic at times. Yet, the music was lovely and the audiences was exposed to the blues in a palatable, approachable way."
