I wonder if there is any relation to the 14-LP set Living Country Blues originally recorded in 1980 and released only in Germany.

[uncle bud]

I would say so, since they are Axel K?stner's photos.

Thanks for the link. Great to see those photos of Cecil Barfield, Big Joe Williams, John Lee Zeigler, Albert Macon and others, plus Gus Cannon lookin' cool!

Also a good lesson to see all those dreadnaughts. Almost all the guitars are dreads (or electric). Take heed, blues guitar holy grail searchers, starting buying those dreadnaughts, and leave those L-00s and all that Oscar Schmidt crap alone.

Too bad, because Axel's photos are always brilliant.

Likewise. Mayhap some kind soul who did manage to find the pictures could post the URL they used???

Is this close?

No Stuart, they were a collection of B&W photographs, rather than fine art paintings. Looks like they've been pulled from the site, and I couldn't find them elsewhere either after a short search.

Those aren't the ones, O'Muck, those are Tim Duffy's MMRF guys I think.
I got the same hit but it (google) found it because the photographer is mentioned on the page.

[Mr.OMuck]

There are several photos by Axel Kustner on that site including ones of Guitar Gabriel.
Here's more:

These are remarkable. I'd like to suggest that as part of our mission we offer online exhibitions to people like Axel Kustner who either have taken, or are in possession of blues relevant visual materiel.

As I said - Axel's photos are brilliant, up there with George Mitchell, or Valerie Wilmer.
