I love blues guitar violin especially in hands of Clarence Gatemouth Brown. He plays the guitar here too and sings in the company with Santana on the guitar and brass section. 15 minutes of great music and blues.
Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown
(April 18, 1924 – September 10, 2005)
…was an American musician from Louisiana and Texas. He is best known for his work as a blues musician, but embraced other styles of music, having “spent his career fighting purism by synthesizing old blues, country, jazz, Cajun music and R&B styles”. His work also encompasses rock and roll, rock music, folk, electric blues, and Texas blues
More InfoIn the early 1970s several countries in Europe had developed an appreciation for American roots music, especially the blues, and Brown was a popular and well-respected artist there. He toured Europe twelve times, beginning in 1971 and continuing throughout the 1970s. He also became an official ambassador for American music, and participated in several tours sponsored by the U.S. State Department, including an extensive tour of Eastern Africa. Brown appeared at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, where he jammed with American blues rock band Canned Heat.[
