Search - Roy Book Binder, Mary McClain & Ida Goodson, Albert "Bock" Thompson / Marie Buggs and Isaac Hamilton :: Where The Palm Tree Shake At Night / Blues Music From The Florida Folklife Collection

The music presented on Where the Palm Trees Shake at Night was selected from hundreds of hours of Florida Folk Festival performances and field recordings spanning 25 years, from 1977-2002. Alongside the down-home folk traditions of Emmett Murray, Richard Williams, and Moses Williams are performances of standard Blues by Albert "Buck" Thompson, Charles Atkins and Martin "Tampa Blue" Locklear. The Piedmont finger-picking style of North Carolina guitarist Etta Baker was captured at the Florida Folk Festival, as was the renowned Washington, D.C. duo Cephas and Wiggins' more modernized interpretation of Piedmont Blues. 1.
