Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 entirely original??? The guy stole the name of John Lee Williamson. Real original.Artistically. No one sang, played the harp, or wrote like him. He was one of a kind, which is ironic since his name was indeed stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Child Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 My Dad has got a couple of his albums, it's pretty good. My Dad told me that when he was playing one time he had a bucket that he would spit into everynow and then and after the show the bucket was full of blood. Now if that isn't the stuff of legend, I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Paul Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Nice one I've never heard any of her music but I'd like to see one of those concerts they used to throw, I think it was called Levon's Midnight Ramble and she done most of the singing while Levon recovered from cancer.On topic I only know that story from the Waltz, I've never heard anything by Sonny Boy, but I prefer the story Levon tells on the Band is Back, they were squirmin'!

It's mostly old gospel songs, very good album.I've heard about those shows at Levon's house as well, pretty wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
