Henry Townsend - My Story Henry Townsend is the St. Louis Patriarch of the Blues. Henry has recorded in every decade since the twenties. Henry's music benefited from associations with Roosevelt Sykes and Walter Davis. In 1937, Big Joe Williams, Robert Nighthawk and Sonny Boy Williamson traveled to Aurora Illinois with Henry and other St. Louisans to record one of the most influential sessions of the Prewar period. The songs from this meeting shaped the blues and influenced the direction of the genre. More about Henry! Henry Townsend - My Story $14.99 Please visit the STLBlues CD store! Winner of Highway 61!
