Cecil Barfield Born December 19, 1921 in Bronwood, Terrell County, Georgia Died June 10, 1994 in Opa Locka, Miami-Dade County, Florida. Cecil Is A true Blues original. One of the few active Bluesmen remaining in Georgia at that time, Cecil lived in a shack with no running water or electricity and learned to play on a one stringed cooking oil can. His distinctively accented vocals can remarkably contort from a moaning hum to wrenched squeeze in the space of a few bars, miraculously morphing from track to track with the effect of sounding like a different singer each time. The glorious sleeve notes accompanying the record expand on his legend and unique style, but we're sure that after one listen to this fella you'll immediately be under the spell of a truly original player. Part 2 of 2 of Cecil Barfield on guitar and vocals at his home in Bronwood, Georgia. Some of Barfield's neighbors are interviewed and discuss Barfield's music. Barfield is interviewed and discusses blues music and his musical style. Camera also pans around inside and outside of Barfield's home. (FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY) video from here
