(The Blues) Swamp blues guitarist Rudy Richard has died last week at the age of 77, his family have confirmed. He's best remembered for his work with Slim Harpo, who hired him at the age of 17. He kept working after Harpo's death in 1970 but never recorded any of his own music.

Son Rudolph Jr. tells KTBS: "My father was a very humble man - there were so many high points in his life that he never spoke about unless you asked him.

"He was in the middle of an interview and a reporter asked him, 'What was it like opening for the Beatles?' That was something he'd never told us." Read more here.
