Born in Shelby, Mississippi, Townsend moved to St. Louis in the early wave of the Delta Exodus and grew up to become a central figure in that city’s influential blues scene. Throughout a recording career that began in the late 1920s and either flourished or languished with the popular fortunes of the genre, Henry Townsend has never lost his passion for music and has continued to perform and compose. In fact, it was during a slow point in the popularity of acoustic blues that old friend Big Joe Williams pointed the Adelphi recording crew to Townsend for this edition of the Blues Vault series, the first songs of which were made in the basement music room of Townsend’s St. Louis home. This collection evolved over a period of five years, and in it are delightful lessons from a master for those just learning this wonderful language, as well as for those more fluent.
