She Put Carbolic In My Coffee

This warm fall is really throwing me for a loop. I’ve been really busy with everything so the lists and video recoding is going much slower than I have hoped. I’m going to try to get everything done over Thanksgiving, though.

We haven’t talked much about Furry Lewis here, which is a shame because he is one of my favorite guitar players and judging by ya’lls lists of blues songs a lot of you like him a lot too. Though he seems to come in behind Blind Blake in terms of popularity as usual. I really like Lewis’ voice something that people don’t normally focus on, of course his guitar playing is amazing – very delicate yet powerful. He isn’t very showy, but he gets the job done. This track, the awkwardly titled Big Chief Blues, is a life story of a man’s history with woman, though it doesn’t get as sad as 3 Weeks Old Blues (but what does really) it’s still a really powerful and devastating blues number.
