RIP Tony Glover

Forums:

Tony Glover, blues man, harmonica ace, died yesterday. He, John Koerner and Dave Ray were a big part of my high school listening.

 

"Glover made a lasting impression on a generation of musicians as a member of the blues and folk trio, Koerner, Ray and Glover, which also included John Koerner and Dave Ray. The group put out three albums in the early Sixties via Elektra — 1963’s Blues, Rags and Hollers, 1964’s Lots More Blues, Rags and Hollers and 1965’s The Return of Koerner, Ray and Glover — that would become touchstones for artists like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Bonnie Raitt and more."
