a note about this track

The Blues Spotlight Presents: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown - As A Versatile Texas Bluesman, Gatemouth Brown's Eclectic Approach To Music Led Him Down Many Pathways. The Use Of Fiddle As A Blues Instrument And The Horn-Like Lines Of His Guitar Playing Was A Big Influence; Himself Influenced By T-Bone Walker And Louis Jordan. Gate's First Recording Sessions Took Place In 1948. Europe Beckoned In The Early 1970's. Brown's Authenticity Was So Pioneering That He Toured Russia And Africa On Behalf Of The State Department Of The US Government. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown Took His Calypso-Inspired Blues Hoe-Down Numerous Times Around the World, Picked Up A Pile Of Awards Along The Way, And Left Behind A Twenty Album Catalog Before Passing On In 2005 At The Age Of 81
