 Andy Cohen
Andy Cohen has studied and played old music all his life, wandering
North America as a songster. He lives by playing old songs. On this CD,
Andy plays acoustic guitar, piano, dulceola and sings. On some pieces
he is accompanied by his wife Larkin Bryant, on haunting vocals and
mandolin.
Here are unadulterated songs from the early days of the blues
—
two piano rags done as guitar pieces, three blue country songs, two
piano boogies, one of which has passed between the piano and guitar for
over seventy years. The rest are a variety of blues numbers, including
a talking blues by Woody Guthrie, two tough ones by Memphis Minnie, one
each by Big Bill Broonzy, Teddy Darby, and Henry Spaulding. For Andy,
these songs are some of the central chunks of his troubadour life,
especially Cairo Blues, the weirdest blues ever composed, by a barber
from central Illinois.
