(Robert Brown)
(5CD)
He apparently only worked sporadically as a semi-pro musician for a spell
in New Orleans in the '50s, returning to his adopted home base of
Scotlandville to work as a garage mechanic at the time of his
discovery.
His brief recording career was limited to a pair of album-length releases
recorded as "in the field" location sessions in 1960 and 1961 for the Folk
Lyric and Bluesville labels. His few recordings display a strong rhythmic
sense in his guitar playing with a strong thumping bass line with the
occasional foray into slide guitar.
His vocals were nothing less than rich, strong and authoritative. After a
few years of playing at picnics and local parties for friends around Baton
Rouge in the early '60s, he seemingly disappeared, never to be seen or
heard from again. His death in 1975 still remains unconfirmed at the time
of this writing.
