Never again. They were a product of their time. Playing aside, even voices, and accents such as this are lost now.. guys like this grew up learning to talk around people who were probably slaves on plantations and talked totally different to we do today.. small, isolated communities with now TV to influence our voice development. That unique gravel tone. Like even how he pronounced his name Booker "Bukka". Treasure stuff like this. It's audio gold. Even when this was recorded it was sounds of the past. This was in '67 but in reality it's more like '27 or '37. We are so lucky to have these later recordings of the old bluesmen with even semi decent quality before they were all gone. Just think how much is lost, legends who were never recorded. Some would disagree but this kind of resonator stuff to me is pure definitive delta sound. Even more so than the likes of RJ.
