Stagolee week was great — I was glad to have played a small part in this. I think my favorite tracks here are the furry Lewis and Hogman Maxey versions. This would make a really interesting CD complilation, except that 170 minutes of stackolee would definitely not be for casual listening.

I thought Stagger week was fantastic….
But looking at all the great versions lined up like that….
Stunning….
Thanks soooo much for putting this whole thing together.

Your website is getting better and better…
Thank you very much for your energy and work..
Here in Denmark it is very difficult to get those prewar records..
It is a true goldmine for me..
What about Tommy Johnson’s “Big Road Blues” as a tread?
Or “Walking Blues”? with Son House and countless other artists..
Thanks. Ejler
This Stagolee week was fabulous!
I enjoy visiting your blog. You do a great job.
Great stuff. This was my favorite week of interaction with a website EVER. Kisses!
I guess you never came across Neil Diamond version. Very Neil-like and good.
This was a great week. I got re-acquainted with some old favorites (Furry Lewis, Mississippi John Hurt), some not so old faves (Bert Jansch, Dave Van Ronk) and some brand new ones — Hawaiian Stagolees, Beck, and on.
I can’t think of another place where I could have gotten this kind of musical experience. Thanks!

Thanx for the fantastic job !
*sob*
the links are broken. Still trying to get all these tracks. Dialup is a filthy whore.
I try to do this kind of things for my art students (in Paris) ; but this page is incredible, it resumes the story of blues with all the possible inflexions. I never saw such a wide range of possible comparison. Of course, I’ll put it at their disposition !
Thanks so much
I recommend ‘Stagolee Shot Billy’ by Cecil Brown – an excellent history of the song.
