Ian A. Anderson - The Village Thing, Tiger Moth, English Country Blues Band

Ian A Anderson in conversation with David Eastaugh https://frootsmag.com/ https://www.ianaanderson.com/ https://ghostsfromthebasement.bandcamp.com/ Anderson first performed in his home town of Weston-super-Mare as a member of the Backwater Jook Band and came to prominence as a member of the Bristol based country blues scene of the mid to late 1960s, performing live and on record, both solo, with Al Jones and Elliott Jackson as the trio "Anderson Jones Jackson", and as a duo with Mike Cooper.  After two EPs, he recorded his first album, Stereo Death Breakdown, as Ian Anderson’s Country Blues Band, which was released by Liberty/United Artists in 1969. In December 1969, with John Turner, he conceived the record label The Village Thing, for which he was also a producer.
