Blues, Acoustic Blues, CD kiadvány, 2026.
Cool John Ferguson (1953–2025). Never-before-heard acoustic blues tracks recorded in 2006 in Hillsborough, NC. Cool John Ferguson was as close to a born musician as anyone you’ll ever see. The Gullah Geechee people on the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina are unique among the subcultures of the African diaspora. They were brought here as slaves over two centuries ago. They speak their own Creole language. They maintain traditions and customs that are fully their own. Cool John Ferguson was a product of those cultures. In 1998, Cool John moved up to North Carolina and began using his talents to support the efforts of the Music Maker Relief Foundation. He helped make classic recordings for Essie Mae Brooks, Carl Rutherford and Captain Luke, and he made his own debut album. Cool John continued to be one of the finest blues players alive until his passing in August 2025.
