About Rory Block

Since the 1970s, Rory Block has staked her claim as one of the world's finest blues practitioners. A formidable slide guitarist, talented songwriter, and excellent interpreter of the historic Delta blues singers, she issued her self-titled debut, a funky rock and pop outing, in 1981. After four more albums for majors, she quit the mainstream music business. She signed to Rounder for 1981's globally acclaimed High Heeled Blues. Since then, she has recorded dozens of globally celebrated, award-winning acoustic blues outings including 1983's Rhinestones and Steel Strings, 1991's Mama's Blues, 1998's Confessions of a Blues Singer, and 2004's Sisters & Brothers with Eric Bibb and Maria Muldaur. Block signed to Stony Plain for 2008's Blues Walkin' Like a Man: A Tribute to Son House, and followed with 2012's I Belong to the Band: A Tribute to Rev. Gary Davis, and 2022's Ain't Nobody Worried.
