Artist Biography For William Brown

By Karl Kotas Http //www.Metafilter.Com/106986/William-Brown-Mississippi-Blues
"William Brown Was A Man Who Recorded A Handful Of Blues On Sadie Beck's Plantation On July 16 1942 For Alan Lomax. Once Thought To Be The Same Man As The Willie Brown Who Played With Son House And Charley Patton--And Was Immortalized In Robert Johnson's Crossroad Blues--The Consensus Now Is That William Brown Was A Different Man About Whom We Know Next To Nothing. Certainly The Handful Of Recordings We Have That Feature Him Supports This. The Willie Brown Who Recorded Future Blues And M & O Blues Was An Archetypal Delta Bluesman With Both Songs Being Stripped Down Versions Of Charley Patton's Screamin' And Hollerin' The Blues Among Others And Pony Blues Respectively. The William Brown Who Recorded Mississippi Blues Ragged And Dirty And Make Me A Pallet On The Floor Plays And Sings Nothing Like That Willie Brown. That We Know Nothing About Him And Never Heard Any More Of His Music Is One Of The Many Tragedies Of Recorded Blues." Continues...
