Born and raised in the hill country of Mississippi, gospel blues guitarist and singer Leo Welch didn't make his professional recording debut until he was 82 years old, by which time he was pretty much the last in a line of vernacular Mississippi guitarists who included R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Born in Sabougla, Mississippi in 1932, Welch showed an affinity for music early, learning to play guitar, harmonica, and fiddle, and he was soon playing at picnics and parties, working his way up to jook joints and clubs, playing mostly blues standards with a gospel edge, raw and urgent. Otherwise, he kept his day job, working over 30 years on a logging crew in the hill country. Around 1975, when the blues began to wane as a popular music and the gigs began to dry up, Welch switched his sound to gospel, and took his blues riffs and Chuck Berry energy into the churches, developing a raw hybrid style that had the grit and moan of the blues laid under the urgent, passionate energy of call-and-response gospel. An offhand phone call to the Big Legal Mess record label brought him an audition and then a recording contract. Welch took his striking gospel blues into the studio, putting it down straight and with no frills, emerging with a debut album, Sabougla Voices, early in 2014.

Thanks for sharing Douglas. While your link didn't work (blocked for copyright issues) your essay did get me interested enough to search for myself. I've become a big fan of Hill Country Blues over the past 15+ years and can't thank you enough for steering me in the direction of Mr. Welch. Fully planning on adding some Leo Welch to my collection SOON. Thanks again!

Link that did work for me (first one I listened to and I was HOOKED!)

Can you make me one with cheddar instead? Thanks.

Gladly. I love to cook. Just tell me what you want, I can cook almost anything from scratch. Tonight I am making Chicken chow mien with Egg Drop soup and General Tso's chicken. I takes about two hours. Are there any suggestions of what Stones music I should listen to while I prepare dinner?

It seems about a hundred years ago.

Thanks.

1995 for gods sake!
Not a favorite version BTW, it's too perfect and polished for my taste.

short (only 4 songs) but four songs by JLP are better than entire tours by some big acts I won't mention... (Macca? Muse?)

A collection of tunes by the late Bobby Blue Bland. What a voice. Check him out on YouToob if y'all are intersted in rhythm and blues.
