Sister Rosetta rocks a mean axe and sings like she means business.
Enjoy the guitar compilation:
I can’t confirm whether or not she ever opened for Renfield. She played a Les Paul custom with three PAF humbucking pickups, three-way selector switch, two volume and two tone controls; and gold-plated side-action vibrato system.
She helped to pioneer distortion, and her 1964 Manchester show with Muddy Waters was cited as an influence by Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Keith Richards.
Oh yeah, many times. I taught her everything she knew. Just like Ruttling Orange Peel.
He’s lying. He’s ALWAYS lying!
I did…I did!
