Etta Baker - Knoxville Rag


"Etta Baker stumped me hard. Her style was completely different. I like to think of myself as a well educated blues musician, but I must admit that I'd never played the Piedmont style, so I was a bit nervous. After a brief lesson, she kicked it off, and I just tried to keep up as best I could."-Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I had the honor of meeting Etta at her home. A friend and I had always been fans and so as we were driving through Morganton, we called Etta to see if we could drop by and say hello. She had no idea who we were but asked us to come on by. She was so gracious and we had a beautiful visit. She died the following year...she is missed.
