At the time of this 1979 recording, Johnny Shines was a living link to blues mythology. A traveling companion to Robert Johnson in the '30s, and a translator of Delta blues language into an electric context in the '40s and '50s, Shines was largely ignored by the industry until the blues revival of the '60s. Fortunately, he was still a dynamic performer in his later years, as this live document shows. Shines nods to his association with Johnson by performing three of his songs--"Terraplane Blues," "Kind Hearted Woman," and "Sweet Home Chicago"--all given meticulous, loving treatments, with Shines's ragged tenor lending a distinctive edge. Shines's own compositions stand up as well, the boogie-inflected "I Will Be Kind" in particular, and "I Had a Good Home," a mournful meditation on losing one's house in a storm. The between-song banter shows a thoughtful, charming side of the man, though the intensity of his performances leaves a much deeper impression. Shines plays his acoustic guitar with plenty of percussive attack and dazzling, fluid embellishment, and sings with the vigor and passion characteristic of the best Delta blues. HEY BA-BA-RE-BOP! is the next best thing to having seen Shines live. Recorded live in 1971. Solo performer: Johnny Shines (vocals, guitar).
