SPIDER JOHN KOERNER March 1963
NERO'S NEPTUNE RECORDS, 2010 LP
A major archival discovery, taped March 24, 1963 for a Milwaukee, Wisconsin radio program, on the eve of the very same day that the seminal Blues, Rags & Hollers LP by Koerner, Ray & Glover was created.
Spider John Koerner is the man who first introduced a young Bob Dylan to the 12-string guitar, a bona fide legend who is acknowledged as an influence by artists as diverse as John Lennon, Beck, The Doors & Dylan himself.
Nearly 50 years ago, Paul Nelson, writing in the Little Sandy Review and Sing Out respectively, said that "Koerner's art is like Chaplin's, as great and lasting as it is entertaining," while calling him "the most innovatively brilliant acoustic blues musician of his generation."
In the year 2010 -- seldom performing and now in his 70s -- the reclusive Koerner is "one of the world's greatest living practitioners of traditional American folk music."
It is with enormous pride that Nero's Neptune presents this long-lost piece of American musical history.
Tip-on sleeves, pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

- Nero's Neptune releases an archival recording from 1963 of legendary American folk and country blues musician, Spider John Koerner. - A direct influence on artists such as John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Beck, The Doors, etc. - Tip-on sleeves, pressed on 180 gram vinyl. - "Alone among the young blues revivalists, Koerner had a sound that was completely idiosyncratic and personal. From the first guitar riff, there was never any doubt about who was playing." --Blueswire
- "It was John Koerner and he also had an acoustic guitar with him. Koerner was tall and thin with a look of perpetual amusement on his face. We hit it off right away. ... When he spoke he was soft spoken, but when he sang he became a field holler shouter. Koerner was an exciting singer, and we began playing a lot together." --Bob Dylan
