Not THE Walter Rhodes

"The artist of this album is not THE Walter Rhodes, a well-known Memphis blues old-time accordion performer, but a modern bluesman who took his name, calling himself Walter "Lightning Rod" Rhodes. This CD is therefore not a collection of rare cuts of Walter Rhodes, but just a mediocre piece of modern work on a field of blues revival / delta blues / acoustic blues. The recordings date back to 1988-89, not to 1927.



If you dig downhouse blues revival artists like Taj Mahal, Alexis Korner, John Hammond, Corey Harris, etc, you might find this CD enjoyable. I'm still highly dissatisfied with my offer because it is not what I wanted and the description of the item does not explain enough - I hope this review improves that."
