Music reviews of The Legendary De Ford Bailey: Country Music's First Black Star
Music Review: DeFord Bailey--The BEST Harmonica Player!
Rating: 5 Stars
DeFord is the BEST. This is a great quality CD and well worth the money if you love harmonica music. I would have loved to met DeFord in person and heard him blow! Great CD! Rick
Description of The Legendary De Ford Bailey: Country Music's First Black Star
At the heart of this collection are modern, high fidelity recordings of DeFord Bailey doing what he was most famous for, playing the harmonica. But other selections reveal sides of DeFord's music not widely recognized: his abilities as a guitar player, singer and banjo player. He often performed his Kansas City Blues on the Opry, singing it enough that veteran opry members from the 1930s still talked about DeFord and his bulldog. His son recalled that his father becam serious about playing the guitar when he was on tour with the Opry group: he was often assigned to guard the pile of instruments that accompanied them, and while he did that began to try his hand at some of the guitars.General CDs
