Last month’s recap will be coming later in the week. I should be posting more regularly in a few weeks, as well as finishing up all the loose ends from the previous few months.

Big Joe Williams was one of the last of the pre-war delta blues musicians. He cut his teeth on these few early recordings before the war and before he became one of the bigger blues artists of the post-war era. This track is a really solid Delta Blues song, features some really great guitar work by Williams and great lyrics that cover both political and emotional topics - it is one of the best written blues songs I’ve ever heard.
