"'One of the greatest living acoustic blues artists'--Blues Revue,"
When Aurora "Rory" Block first heard the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta as a teenager in 1964, she says, "I felt wild, crazy, in love. My life was suddenly too good to be true." She learned the blues from Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt, and over years of touring venues high and low, with socket-wrench guitar slide in hand, she built a reputation as one of the top acoustic blues guitarists, songwriters, and singers in America. This five-time W.C. Handy Award winner delivers a unique evening of classic blues and superb original songs. One of her awards was given for her most recent album "The Lady and Mr. Johnson"--Robert Johnson, that is. Covering that giant of the blues is a tall order for any performer, but Johnson's grandson Greg says, “When I hear Rory Block’s music, it’s as if my grandfather is here all over again.”
