If you're going to be a mountain-climber then Everest will always be on the horizon - and if you're going in search of the best in blues, there's no sense in treating Big Bill Broonzy as a roundabout, to set off down a road that will only bring you back to where he stands. Unlike Everest, there is no one blues artist who towers above all others but if anyone epitomises the very best elements of vocal and instrumental prowess, then Big Bill Broonzy fits the bill. In a career spanning three decades, Bill's career pursued an elliptical path from talented ragtime guitarist in the last years of the 1920s, to gifted social commentator on black urban life in the 1930s and 1940s, before in the 1950s he returned to his origins as a visionary folk-blues artist, bringing a world he understood so well to European audiences who revelled in the entertainment he provided while he passed on insights into how that world, his world, functioned. 1.01 - Big Bill Broonzy - Saturday Night Rub (2:57) 1.02 - Big Bill Broonzy - I Can't Be Satisfied (2:47) 1.03 - Big Bill Broonzy - Too Too Train Blues (2:53) 1.04 - Big Bill Broonzy - How You Want It Done?
