Down in the holler, we like us some blues.
No one that I know of is singing ‘em in a dirtier fashion than Robert Connely Farr.
He’s got a girl and some old-time religion.
A cypress grove to be buried in.
And the whole dirty South.
Fragments of a South not quite gone; always haunted and always in need of redemption.
(Iconic Blue Front Cafe in Bentonia, MS.)
Thank you for introducing me to this guy! I have been a blues lover for most of my life but had not heard of him until I received this mail, so thanks again, friend, Jack.
The cafe sure looks a lot like a scene from one of Les Blank's films!!
