Bill Cox - Hard Luck Blues N R A Blues

Review by Галина Чебан

Hard Luck Blues N R A Blues is an album by the American country blues singer Bill Cox, released in 1935. The album is a collection of 14 tracks that showcase Cox's raw and emotional vocals, accompanied by his guitar playing.

The album opens with the title track, "Hard Luck Blues," a slow and melancholic song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Cox's voice is filled with pain and longing as he sings about the hardships of life.

Other standout tracks include "N R A Blues," a political commentary on the National Recovery Administration and its effects on the working class, and "Nobody's Business," a playful tune about minding one's own business.

Throughout the album, Cox's guitar playing is simple yet effective, perfectly complementing his vocals. The production quality is minimal, allowing Cox's voice and guitar to shine through.

Summary by Галина Чебан

Hard Luck Blues N R A Blues is a must-listen for fans of country blues and early American folk music. Cox's raw and emotional performances make this album a timeless classic.
