JOHN DEE & FRIS - Country Girl (1993)

320

Storyteller, dancer, blues artist, and National Heritage Award recipient John Dee Holeman was born in rural Orange County, North Carolina in 1929. Over the years his musical and dancing skills were sharpened in local competitions at house parties, cornshuckings, woodcuttings, and other rural recreations. During the week he worked as a farmer and as a bulldozer and dragline operator, but on the weekends he entertained family and neighbors, never moving outside the core African American blues community. Moving to Durham, or the Bull City as it's locally known, he continued making music and dancing, usually in the company of his partner, pianist and dancer Quentin "Fris" Holloway...

Recorded live at LBJ's Lounge, Washington, D.C. on April 15, 1988
