{"product_id":"furry-lewis","title":"FURRY LEWIS","description":"Walter E. \"Furry\" Lewis (1893-1981), was a Mississippi-born, Memphis-bred guitarist and singer whose early fame was based on his 1927 recordings for the Victor label. When the Depression ended most of the recording in the South, Furry took a job as a laborer for the city of Memphis. He lived in musical obscurity until he was \"re-discovered\" by producer Sam Charters in the late 1950s. Lewis's version of \"John Henry\" is a powerful example of early southern blues. This collection also includes Lewis's oral history of his early days as a bluesman, as well as the story of his musical education in several styles of blues guitar. The liner notes include a discography of Lewis's early recordings.","brand":"FOLKWAYS RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52030504468760,"sku":"093070382329","price":17.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1505275.jpg?v=1778048620","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/furry-lewis","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
