Hollers and Blues |
||
|
by an unspoiled singer in the South, sung without the binding restrictions of conventional piano accompaniment or orchestral arrangement, grow up like a wild flowering vine in the woods. Their unpredictable, incalculably-tender melody bends and then swings and shivers with the lines like a reed moving in the wind. The blues then show clearly their country origin, their family connection with the "holler." |

* When "Judge" and "Pm" are sung to this measure, the singer makes a slow slide from the g to the b\). |
