Peter Keane

More than a decade's passed since we've heard from onetime Boston folk circuit celebrant Peter Keane. The Harvard-educated UT librarian since the mid-Nineties here tackles pre-World War II blues from Jimmie Rodgers, Elizabeth Cotten, Mississippi John Hurt, and others more obscure in a style similar to Jorma Kaukonen – solo electric guitar and feeling mighty low. A raw reading of Skip James' "Illinois Blues" perspires.
