I got a pretty hot tip of a store in Raleigh that is selling Document CDs for about 9 bux, so I’m heading up there right now. But first a great pre-war blues track from Chicago. Billie (Willie Mae) McKenzie was a blues singer from Chicago who was mostly known for her dirty blues tracks - but unlike Lil’ Johnson she was also able to make some really great non-dirty blues sides. This song “I’d Rather Drink Muddy Water” features Billie at her most vulnerable. It’s a perfect morning after song.

Cats and a Fiddle did a jaunty/carefree version that’s tip top too, but this is a versatile song–stands up in a number of different interpretations. This is a very nice find.
