Henry Byrd was a true country blues man. A construction worker by trade, Byrd came up playing the blues when some of its greatest artists were performing.
While hoboing through the Great Depression he met up with such legends as Blind Boy Fuller, Brownie McGee, Sonny Terry, Tampa Red and Washboard Sam.
Byrd's musical philosophy was summed up well by Scott Riggan, Byyrd's long time friend and neighbor responsible for the recordings that make up this album, "for him, music was pure: it was fun.
It was about getting together when you weren't working and doing what you loved."

“Birmingham” George Washington Conner moved from Pickens County, Alabama to Chicago and stayed there close to 30 years where he had his own blues club “The Place.” In the 80s he moved to Memphis for 5 years before moving back to Alabama where he opened another blues club. Unfortunately a few people got killed in it and the joint had to close down. George can be heard every year at the Freedom Creek Festival, in Pickens County, Alabama. Plain electric down home style blues, performing with deep passion.

One of the best blues bands of Holland.
The Boules Blues Band has two people of The BBR band sitting in his company which mainly are not wrong. Ruud Hull is a very energetic drummer and a guitarist Bonne Van Den Heuvel who regularly makes large tongues loose. His great love Rory Gallagher he does not hide or banks but is broadly oriented above. Artistic has to crumble this man at least a lot of milk just read on Google what he has already done Leo Verkruissen is an old hand in the ak and has leapfrogged over Ron Black on bass guitar. These men all have one thing in common and that is that they love the blues and you also hear back on this disk.
