Louisiana Red was one of the most famous Blues guitarists, known for his unique style. Here he is accompanied only by his guitar and his mouth-organ. This legendary concert is one of the highlights of the Onkel Pö series.

By the way, the stage name “Louisiana Red” (there have been other names as well) refers to a hot sauce customary in the delta-state of Mississippi. Customary, just as the extremely archaic blues of which Louisiana Red has always been a paradigmatic representative; this was also the case on that particular evening in June 1977, when he, the blues-import from across the Atlantic, was alone on stage of “Onkel Pö’s Carnegie Hall” in Hamburg-Eppendorf.
