Carolina Blues Man, subtitled Pink Anderson Volume I, is an album by blues musician Pink Anderson recorded in 1961 and released on the Bluesville label.
[1][2][3] AllMusic reviewer Lindsay Planer stated: "Carolina Blues Man finds Anderson performing solo – with his own acoustic guitar accompaniment – during a session cut on his home turf of Spartanburg, SC.
Much – if not all – of the material Anderson plays has been filtered through and tempered by the unspoken blues edict of taking a familiar (read: traditional) standard and individualizing it enough to make it uniquely one's own creation.
His trademark style incorporates a combination of picking and strumming chords interchangeably.
This nets Anderson an advanced, seemingly electronically enhanced sound.
