JESSE FULLER San Francisco Bay Blues: The Jesse Fuller Collection 1954-1961 Review:
Jesse Fuller's music is like a warm hug from your favourite old uncle - comforting, familiar, and just a little bit off-kilter. The San Francisco Bay Blues collection is a delightful journey through Fuller's unique brand of folk and blues, showcasing his mastery of the one-man band setup.
From the rollicking energy of "San Francisco Bay Blues" to the haunting beauty of "99 Years", Fuller's gravelly voice and intricate instrumentals draw you in and refuse to let go. His use of the fotdella, a foot-operated bass instrument of his own invention, adds a quirky charm to his sound that sets him apart from his contemporaries.
While some tracks may feel a bit dated to modern listeners, there's no denying the raw talent and passion that Fuller brings to each song. His storytelling skills shine on tracks like "Fingerbuster" and "John Henry", painting vivid pictures with his lyrics and transporting you back to a bygone era.
Overall, the Jesse Fuller Collection is a treasure trove of musical gems that deserves a place in any folk music lover's collection. So grab a cup of tea, settle in with your favourite blanket, and let Jesse Fuller's sweet melodies transport you to the streets of San Francisco in the 1950s. You won't regret it.
