Alexis Korner, Gotta Move: an all-time great of British R 'n' B (YouTube). Alexis was part Greek by descent. He introduced me to some inspiring jug band and blues music through a series of seminal Kings of the Blues EP records. This is one vinyl record I wouldn't part with for the world; with Noah Lewis on mouth-harp:


Ripley Blues

I even went to Ripley, Tennessee, because of the haunting music in my head.
 Sleepy John Estes was born there.

Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers
