Gerry Casey Interviews Bob Angell
Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Bob Angell
BOB “SnakeShaker” ANGELL started BLUES OUTLET in the spring of 1966. The original idea, as Angell recalls, was to “Take Chuck Berry material and explore it all the way back… through Muddy, Jimmy Reed, Howlin’ Wolf et al…and see just how far back we could take it. It didn’t stop at Robert Johnson, either. Iconic as Johnson had become…I just kept coming across even earlier, deeper blues men... real roots guys like Son House, Charley Patton ...y’know, guys like that.”
