“Louie Bluie” is the soundtrack to the film by Terry Zwigoff which documents the musical and visual artistry of Howard Armstrong, long recognized as one of America's musical treasures whose career stretches back to the 1920s.
A legendary fiddler, mandolinist, storyteller & one-of-a-kind entertainer who performs everything from blues to swing, to hoedowns, rags & gospel with Spanish and Hawaiian numbers thrown in for good measure. Still actively performing, Howard is considered a living exponent of the black string band tradition and this long-awaited re-issue celebrates a career that lives and breathes musical history.

REVIEW “ 'Louie Blues' is the soundtrack to the film by Terry Zwigoff which artfully documents the life of Howard Armstrong, long recognized as one of America's musical treasures whose career stretches back to the 1920's. A legendary fiddler, mandolinist, storyteller and one-of-a-kind entertainer who performs everything from blues to swing, to hoedowns, rags & gospel with Spanish and Hawaiian numbers thrown in for good measure. Still actively performing, Howard is considered a living exponent of the black string band tradition and this long-awaited re-issue celebrates a career that lives and breathes musical history. The record offers an invaluable glimpse into the often overlooked black string-band tradition.”(Don Snowden — Los Angeles Times) |
