Yo JaMaMa .. - oldtimer - 07-29-2020
Do you know what Rez Blues is without looking it up ?
RE: Yo JaMaMa .. - JAMaMa - 07-29-2020
No, I did not. But I do now. From what I found its a Canadian Blues television show? I am still working on it. Can’t seem to get any of the episodes to play. Could be my wifi reception...too many devices at one time, since I am currently poolside, on the deck, listening to one of the Blues compilations. Don't know if you, or anyone else noticed, but I don't know who this Don guy is that put a lot of the ones I post on utube. Whoever he is, Dons Tunes are the best....everyone is amazing! Imagine how excited I was when I found some of his compilations (that is what’s-on now) He has one helluva collection, and the best taste! The sound is so clean and crisp. Easy to get lost...which clearly I have done a time or two LOL!!!!
Side note...something I noticed only recently, I was only listening before, really didn't pay much attention until now...the visuals, in black and white are really cool...but a few of those singles I posted are, well lets just say racy... could be used as visual aides (maybe explains the larger number of views...just sayin’ lol).

Rez Blues...stands for Reservation Blues . The Native Canadians have a really good blues culture . Guys like Murray Porter etc . Really good listening . Something that people don't know about like Nova Scotia blues .

“He is a red man, playing black mans blues, living in a white mans world”.
This topic is proving difficult and frustrating. I am able to find Murray Porter that you mention, however, with the exception of this one song, all the performances I can find are home made videos and sound from peoples cell phones...and they are awful (sound wise) people talking and crap in the back ground, etc. what a shame. It is also hard to find others (Indigenous people, specifically Canadian) that do the blues...when I find something that might be it, turns out to be something else. I am not completely defeated yet...will keep fighting the fight lol.
Anyway here is one with a message but not very bluesy IMO...will follow up with a post of another (unfortunately with people interference.

Your parents didn't raise no quiters . I am very poor as a techie but you are a digger !!!! I have been to a few bars where these guys play . Also use to watch Rez Blues all the time but don't know the name of the performers . I saw Murray Porter play with the Downchild Blues Band on New Years Eve in Ottawa about 12 years ago . Thanks for " rootin" !!!!
