I discovered his music & album a few years ago and was immmediately blown away. I discovered video of him on youtube shortly after that and was even more blown away.<br /><br />I'm listening to your album "When I Rise" right now and I'm loving it, too!<br /><br />Do you by chance know of any other unknown or lesser known gospel artists like Rev Overstreet? Not that they have to sound like him or anything, just that they sound good! I'm a huge fan of classic gospel like the Staple Singers, Highway QCs, Swan Silvertones, Soul Stirrers, Sensational Nightingales, etc. <br /><br />Thanks a lot & Merry Christmas!

He's mostly forgotten today, probably because of his spectacularly violent crime (murdered his girlfriend AFTER singing about it) and grizzly end (died of jaw cancer in jail), but back in the day, he was one hell of a guitarist, and Wolf and Muddy both wanted his services.<br /><br />One mistake in your article, and I'm not surprised you made it because it's not well known (yet): You wrote, "Memphis was just a short distance away across the Mississippi river, and even as a teenager Hare realized that he wanted to be a part of the city's flourishing blues scene." <br /><br />Actually, the flourishing blues scene was on Pat Hare's side of the river, the Arkansas side, in West Memphis, in the late 1940s until the early 1960s. There were dozens of gambling joints and clubs in West Memphis during those years and absolutely nothing comparable on the other side of the river in the Memphis, Tennessee, where Mayor ("Boss") Crump had instituted an 11:00 p.m. curfew that seemed to apply only to black people. That's why in West Memphis, on any given night, you could hear Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson #2, B.B. King, Junior Parker, and the rest of the electric blues pantheon of the day (including in the late 1950s even Skip James), while across the river in Memphis, Tennessee, you'd only see or hear those bluesmen occasionally, and only in the few Memphis clubs that could afford to pay off the cops so they could stay open later than 11:00 p.m. <br /><br />West Memphis clubs (and nearby clubs such as the Top Hat at Black Fish Lake) were really the home of the blues during the 1950s. Memphis, Tennessee was, by comparison, deadsville musically. The good people of West Memphis have never had a bunch of savvy marketers who wanted to publicize this fact, apparently because they're embarrassed by their cultural history as the little mid-South burg where Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, et al developed electric blues! Sad but true.<br /><br />-Mark Hoffman<br />Co-author of "Moanin' at Midnight: The Life and Times of Howlin' Wolf"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085091616088067529.post-69947957948971544832010-12-22T02:04:48.471-08:002010-12-22T02:04:48.471-08:00I do like the REAL BLUES that's why i made thi...I do like the REAL BLUES that's why i made this post:<br /><br />http://diattonsworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/reverend-k-m-williams-boogie-chillen.html<br /><br />Mr Williams, you have my best wishes, as always...Διάττωνhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501414299818481369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085091616088067529.post-27318599921197625272010-11-01T10:47:33.257-07:002010-11-01T10:47:33.257-07:00No comments here!
