Post redone: (where was my mind at?)
I spelled out her name at practice the other day and I was surprised that no one had heard of Rory Block. ( Or, Stefan Grossman ~ future click here ~ )
Rory plays a Martin!
This is one of the first songs I ‘heard’ Rory play:
Her style (on this tune) reminds me of Joan Armatrading, Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman, though she’s better known for her renditions of Robert Johnson tunes.

Mad Hater’s Tea Party:
Recently I got a listen to ‘Delta Maid’ (a Liverpudlian) who plays some serious acoustic blues, and in this video claims she was influenced big time by Rory (and then shares a scores of early blues players who influenced her playing).
So now I gotch’all in the mood for some what-u-see-is-what-u-get down-homely guitar music, what to do? what to do? what to do? Watch the full interview? Okay ~ click here
Some Delta Maid blues! Yeah!
