Torrent description

SAM CHATMON 1970-1974
Original Release Date: October 12, 1999
Label: Flyright Records
Format :Mp3@320

Here is Sam Chatmon (or Chatman),member of one of the most prestigious family of blues musicians, recorded live in his mid-seventies. Sam was born in Bolton,Mississippi,maybe January 10,1899,although he seems to have been two or three years older. His elder brother, Armenter Chatmon,would be known under the name of Bo Carter (1893-1964) ,and was one of the giants of the country blues. His half brother, Charley Patton (1887 or 1891-1934) was simply named "the founder of the Delta blues".Sam also claimed he was the uncle of Peter Chatman,best known as Memphis Slim (1915-1988),but there is no proof of this.
As a child, he used to play guitar with Lizzie Douglas, who will become the great Memphis Minnie (1897-1973).In the twenties, he toured with Texas Alexander (1900?-1954),BLind Lemon Jefferson (1897?-1929) and Lonnie Johnson (1889-1970),then with the Mississippi Sheiks, which included Bo Carter and Walter Vincson (aka Walter Vincent,1901-1975).Then he was rediscovered in 1965,living in Hollandale,as a blues addict was looking for Bo Carter; the guy found Bo Carter's widow, who told him about Sam.
This CD contains material recorded between 1970 and 1974,and show Sam playing and singing great. This man had one of the best right hand's thumb in the world. He plays magnificent picking, and you can find influences of Tommy Johnson, Bo Carter, Memphis Minnie and even Bukka White ("Shake 'Em On Down").Sam salutes Bo in "Go Back Old Devil" and "I Got the Whiskey"(recorded by Bo under the title "Let's Get Drunk Again").Each tune in this CD is a little gem, the kind of treasures Mississippi John Hurt, Larry Johnson or Brownie McGhee used to offer us.
Sam Chatmon died February 2,1983.
