Although Barbecue Bob was from Georgia and not from Mississippi, his rhythmic guitar and African style of singing make him sound like a true Delta bluesman.
I like Barbecue's vocals when he puts some growl in it, as he often does. I like his guitar mostly when he gets into a rolling rhythem, as in "Motherless Child" and California Blues. Bob's lyric are always tinged with both sadness and humor. He sounds like a man who has seen a lot and knows what he is talking about. I recommend this highly original music to any blues fan.
