CR Avery is an East-Vancouver based slam poet, musician, writer, beat boxer, painter and all around virtuosic performance motherfucker. I've interviewed him previously about his totem figures. Now this is his look at those things we undervalue: graffiti tags, the original versions of songs that come to be better known by better known artists, blues players Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson, and Toronto singer/songwriter (and Beams contributor) Corin Raymond.
