This AB creation is crossing the country in the coming months with no fewer than 10 concerts (see bottom of page for dates). On the bill again are The Golden Glows (who reinterpret the prison songs recorded by Alan Lomax and his father John A. Lomax) and Roland (Van Campenhout) who brings to life the best of Lead Belly, the blues legend discovered by the Lomaxes, father and son.
At some venues you will also be able to see Alan Lomax’s brilliant documentary, ‘The Land Where The Blues Began’, and/or get to listen to Blue Flamingo 78s. Check the specific websites for all details.
Go to ABTV to watch the original concert.
Still more news from the Tribute to Alan Lomax camp. The American band Chatham County Line (who licked off the tribute at the Feeërieën 2009) return to the AB on Wednesday 2 November for an exclusive performance at the ABClub. Chatham County Line are from Raleigh, North Carolina and deal in bluegrass. Expect plenty of harmonies and acoustic playing. Jack White of The White Stripes (deceased) is already a fan. How about you?
