Spoonful Of Blues: Boo Hanks

Livin' With The One You Love
Pickin' Low Cotton 2007 via Pinnacle
a note about this track

Acclaimed North Carolina Bluesman Boo Hanks Had Little Recognition During His Younger Days, Opting For The Tobacco Fields And Raising A Large Family. Bought His First Guitar Selling Packets Of Garden Seeds; Cut His Chops In Local String Band, Recorded His First Album At Age 79, And Toured Europe Four Years Later. A Descendant Of Abraham Lincoln, Boo Is A Cherished Piedmont Blues Rediscovery; His Rich Musical Repertoire Reflects His Multi-Ethnic Heritage. Boo Hanks Showcases A Virtuosity In The Driving Time And Delicate Finger-Style Guitar Of The Classic Piedmont Blues Made Famous By Blind Boy Fuller. James Arthur Hanks Passed On In 2016 At The Age Of 87
