As I started to write this the sun came up and the rain stopped, but I’m not going to let that stop me from posting this great Curley Weaver song. As the end of November approaches and December begins, I would like to remind the Honey Bee’s and the other Honey readers that the official position of Honey, Where You Been So Long towards Christmas music is “Bah Humbug.” Quick googlers will note that last year I did in fact post four or so Christmas songs, but I haven’t found anymore pre-war blues Christmas songs, so ya’ll are going to have to turn to the Wreck Room(notworksafe) or Spread The Good Word for yr sick yule time music fix.

This is another one of those I-can’t-believe-I-haven’t-posted-him-before posts, but seriously. I can’t. Curley Weaver was one of the best country blues guitar players ever - both as a sideman for Blind Willie McTell (I really think that McTell did his best work w/partner) and as a solo player. This track is a fairly typical baby-done-me-wrong-and-my-brother-and-best-friend-too piedmont blues song, but it’s a really good one. Fine guitar playing and strong vocal performance with great lyrics.
