Don Haupt (Musician) | Delta Blues Musician
Keeping strictly to the tradition of the self-accompanied blues singer, Don Haupt packs the sound and energy of a full band into a one-man show. His bellowing vocals and raw 'pick your teeth with a rusty nail' slide guitar playing are backed by his foot not just tapping but stomping the stage so hard it is felt clear into the back row. The songs are old standards from the 20's and 30's, dusted off and polished clean again. Songs like Son House's "Preachin Blues" and Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" are performed with conviction enough to turn any venue into an old-time swamps of Louisiana juke joint.
Think of guitar slides cut from dead whiskey bottles, worn out shoe soles and prison farm field hollers. Think of the weariness that lies in the hearts of men old before their time and going down to the crossroads at midnight to give the devil his due.
