Out Of This World: Blind Willie Johnson, Blaze Foley, Marisa Monte, Caetano Velosa

Two songs for the Corfu Backporch Blues Session this coming June:

Blind Willie Johnson, Let Your Light Shine On Me

Blaze Foley, Faded Love and Memories

---------------------------------------------------

And another kind of blues, from Brazil, for when you're really feeling sad (Paulinho da Viola and Marisa Monte).

For those not tired of London, or of Life: Caetano Velosa, London, London.

Met Caetano (and Gilberto Gil) back then. He was living in exile in London for two years. He performed it the International Students' Centre in Portland Place in 1971, where he signed this album and also sang the wonderful Maria Bethania.
