Rauma Blues 2002
The year 2002 continued the series of living legends
This
time Rauma Blues presented Solomon Burke, noted as the best living soul
singer with his grand voice and appearance, and Jody Williams, the
guitar pioneer of chicago blues with his original sliding technique.
The "artistic values" of Rauma Blues were noted even in national media
when the Finnish television channel TV 1 broadcasted a report of the
event in its main news. The experts gave more notion to the event as
the Jody Williams and Solomon Burke gigs were listed as the best
concerts of the year in a readers' poll in the prestigious Blues News
magazine.
