Sid Selvidge has had a musical career as expansive as the Mississippi Delta -- and as true to his roots as the bluesmen of yesteryear. In short, it's been the real thing. Selvidge was born in Greenville, Mississippi, and got his first guitar ...
Here's what Jerry Wexler says: "Sid Selvidge is a national treasure, an irreplaceable resource --a southern patrician who sings the rootest American music like a natural man. And bless the record people for giving him his propers: combining a live music CD with a DVD of the performance. He revives the obscure and the antiquarian with palpable affection---but he himself is totally with out affectation; never mimetic, never condescending. There are no obeisances to the marketplace—and never the commercial compromise." Submitted by hcooley2 (Memphis, TN USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
