Grew up in High School in the mid 2010s listening to the Mississippi Sheiks. Back in the times before RUclips decided to wipe damn near every user-made upload of their gorgeous, beautiful music off the platform for no reason. This was a common love to hear. I remember there was a trio back about 12 years or so ago that tried to remake half a dozen of their songs including The Jazz Fiddler, and they did pretty good themselves. You guys get it somewhat close to the actual recording here, very well done! First attempt I've seen in years from anyone!
Cool, nice to be on the radio! I started listening to old country blues around 20 years ago and I got totally hooked by it's richness, variety of sounds and patterns compared to the post war blues. I was fascinated by the pre-war years of blues music, starting with the best known (Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Mc Tell, Blind Lemon Jefferson) and then I did a big dive into the lesser known artists. At the same time I was learning all the old jazz music, swing, ragtime, hillbilly music, gospel... basically all the music recorded in the United States from the early 20's to the late 30's. I felt the need to start playing that music not only for the love of the sound itself but also because of a series of events of heartbreak, emotional difficulties, precariousness in my life and now that I look back on it, it is the most important thing at the end of the day. Because although my technique is not perfect in any way, I play and sing from the heart and that is the only thing I can assure.
@@OscarWolf84 That's the beauty of this genre. Re-exacting in identical repeat everytime a song us performed is hugely restricting the emotion in place at that time. The best method to ensure continued richness is an improvisational approach. Musicians that get can adjust to the flow of improv with ease. Others are frustrated by it. It's what makes it soulful. Where are you from and where do you reside now may we ask?
@@BOLStudios adding a personal touch to each song is inevitable, so I stick to the song and then those differentiating factors between the original and my version come out on their own. I'm from Barcelona, Spain. Born and raised.
Well, modern gear like zoom recorders actually have some kind of digital pre-amps integrated I guess, you can raise the recording volume just pressing the up and down buttons @@TexasShout
Absolutely fantastic!
Fantastic!
Great stuff!!

Hi Oscar! Love all your videos. What mic are you using?
Thanks, Amperite SR80
Gotta know. What's the mic you're using. I should know that but for the life of me cannot recall.

Is there a lesson this brotha wow
What preamp are you using with that Amperite?
Thanks! No pre-amp directly to a zoom recorder.
@@OscarWolf84 Sounds really good. I am surprised that you can run that mic without a preamp.
