The album now reviewed, which also includes a wonderful DVD, is one of those rare treasures that appear from time to time, every blues fan should have in his record collection Guitar Gabriel, whose real name was Robert Lewis Jones, was born in 1926 in Decatur, Georgia His father, Sonny Jones, was already a blues legend in those years, as he had recorded some songs with Blind Boy Fuller, Sonny Terry and Bull City Red, who plays washboard, in July 1939 in Memphis, TN This album accurately and perfectly reflects the mark of the emotional artistic speech of a true genuine down home blues musician The history of this bluesman is long and full of exciting experiences, some very hard difficult ones and other ones full of humour and tenderness Gabe, as he was known among his closest friends, died on April 2, 1996, but his spirit is still alive and has been a source of inspiration for Music Maker record label If you are not familiar with this immortal artist, I suggest you to get a copy of this double cd + dvd, and discover him I dare say you will thank me for the advice
