While practically every other blues harmonica player of his generation fell under the spell of Little Walter, Birdlegg is, and always was, different. Instead, he was captivated by the generation before Jacobs the one that inspired the virtuoso to completely redefine postwar blues harmonica in the early 1950s. Harking back to a style reminiscent of two of the greatest early postwar and country blues harmonica players, Sonny Boy Williamson and Sonny Terry, Birdlegg's expressive, full-tilt playing and singing also brings a fresh and distinctive approach to traditional gutbucket blues something that has become all too rare these days. /Amazon
