Honey is mentioned in this Newsweek article about the increasing digitalization of old music, it’s a good read.

Blind Joe Taggart has never been able to escape the mean Christian title that every places on him and his music. Though I mean who wouldn’t be mean to Josh White if given half the chance? Taggart music is an amazing thing to hear, the colliding voices and guitars never leave the listener on easy ground - the very basic blues rhythm is pounding into the ground and something strange and wonderful comes out of it.
