Eva Taylor might me best known for being Clarence Williams’ wife and recording her first record for his Black Swan label, one of the first black owned record labels. Historical importance aside she had a great voice and wonderful phrasing. Her take on Organ Grinder with the Clarence Williams Jug Band is a mostly humorous take on the song – done and a very tongue in cheek – vaudeville style. There is some really good work by the band hidden under everything which make s it a nice and light listen.

This site is a must for me,too.
Thanks.
I have collected some blues books through the years, – and now I really have a chance to hear the voices and the lyrics.
At the website “Not Dark Yet” you can download a very good version of Dylan doing “Blind Willie McTell” (Hamburg 24-10 2005)
