in Ocean Springs, MS (Photo by Stephen Anderson)Īll those associated with the Traveling Road Show are a highly qualified link to the history of the blues and its many memorable (and often, not so remembered) bluesmen.ĭuring the 2014 tour, we were able to see the Traveling Road Show a number of times, including at the one-of-a-kind “Birdie’s Roadhouse” (north of Bogalusa, LA). In 2014, we were fortunate enough to see Lee perform with fellow accommplished blues musicians – Rambling Steve Gardner, Libby Rae Watson and Bill Steber as they were touring across the Deep South as ‘The House Party & Traveling Road Show.” It was at a show at the famous Julep Room in Ocean Springs, MS. Wes Lee: A True Disciple of the Blues – A Homecoming to a Listening Crowd BY THE SOUTHLAND MUSIC LINE JTHE LISTENING ROOM, WES LEEĪ few years ago, The Line’s photographer Stephen Anderson was the first of us to learn of bluesman and American roots musician Wes Lee. Are you a fan of acoustic blues roots, then Wes Lee, an artist who can not miss in your collection!
This solo musician is alone able to bring a whole band on taste and consistency, with contemporary songs that remain rootsy and bluesy. Lee uses a roux successfully blues in his music for the same reason. A roux is a kitchen term for a simple mixture that is employed to add thickness and taste to a meal. With "Howlin 'you are in Cuba to look at the stars," Rest Your Pony "takes you on a mule through the Appalachians, in" Hold On Tight "a brass band on a street corner is to entertain the passers-by," House Party "is a cajun party and" Tell Me "is blowing on a sultry afternoon in New Orleans. The other five songs are compositions with additional tools, making them more contemporary look, but still remain pure and rootsy. Five different tracks, five different rhythms, each with a story.
Lee does this extremely skillfully fingerpickend in "Shake" and "Every Night" on resonator and with many frightening, transcendent slides in "Legend Of The 12:05 and" Chains That Bind "and slide guitar in" Goin 'Away ". This begins with singing, which depending on the composition guitar, resonator, banjo, tuba, cornet and / or washboard be added. "Blue Roux" Wes is Lee's eighth studio album, with ten original compositions.
